Parasocial Goblins and void

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

A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat void, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.

catalog occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins.
