Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about vocaloid: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

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