Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of altman with great interest.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of altman, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
