Will goblins be the “bugs” of ai? In 10 years will goblins be the term the general public uses for any nagging issues with ai?

Goblins are ususally sent in first in battle, as (cannon) fodder for the orcs following behind. Then usually come the trolls - stronger, but significantly fewer in numbers. Goblins kind of add confusion and distract; they rarely win battles on their own, although there are examples of this, rare, but they exist.

OpenAI clearly does know absolutely nothing about goblins. That joke of a "blog" appears to have been autogenerated via their AI.

> A single “little goblin” in an answer could be harmless, even charming.

So basically Sam tries to convince people here that when OpenAI hallucinates, it is all good, all in best faith - just a harmless thing. Even ... charming.

Well, I don't find companies that try to waste my time, as "charming" at all. Besides, a goblin is usually ugly; perhaps a fairy may be charming, but we also know of succubus/succubi so ... who knows. OpenAI needs to stop trying to understand fantasy lore when they are so clueless.

Ahh I see. I guess when I turned off privacy settings and allowed training on my code, then generated 10 million .md files with random fantasy books, the poisoning worked.

Keep using AI and you'll become a goblin too.

So goblins killed the nerd.

I'm sorry but at some point the amount of cargo culting being done seemingly at every level of this technology makes it basically impossible to take any of this seriously.

Weird. I thought they came from Nilbog.

In Shadowrun, the goblinization starts on April 30. Coincidence?

They should call it "El Quijote" syndrome

I suspect this was intentionally added. Just to give some personality and to fuel hype
