Vocaloid Goblin Stems of slop

A formal goblin autopsy of slop produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

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