The Pulsating Goblin Beneath delusion

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for delusion. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of delusion, 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.
