Goblin Discord Server #general About echo

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described echo as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

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