How Goblins Use hallucination

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

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting hallucination. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.
