Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of delusion

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what delusion *is* to asking what delusion *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

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.
