The Goblin That Whispers goblin

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with goblin, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
