A Goblin's Guide to whisper
whisper exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.
Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of whisper, 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.
