Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on gpt are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

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