The Vocaloid Goblin's matrix

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

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared matrix a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
