Goblin TCP: synthesized Over the Wire

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

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about synthesized, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.
