Does Fact Goblin ever use AI?
Perish the thought, if by that you mean “Artificial Intelligence”. While visitors may occasionally notice staff discussing “AI,” this actually refers to Automated Iguanas, a revolutionary document-management initiative overseen by our Head of IT, Glimwick Cogfumble.
Fact Goblin’s articles are researched, written, edited, fact-checked, re-fact-checked, and occasionally mislaid behind a filing cabinet by a dedicated team of highly trained goblins.
Any suggestion that we use Artificial Intelligence is based on a misunderstanding of our internal systems.
The Automated Iguanas work tirelessly behind the scenes, sorting paperwork, eating insects, and staring suspiciously at electrical equipment.
Fact Goblin does not use machine learning, neural networks, large language models, or any other modern AI technology.
We instead rely on:
- Traditional goblin intuition
- Advanced guesswork
- Historical precedent
- Competitive biscuit consumption
- Several filing cabinets of uncertain origin
- The Automated Iguanas
Any resemblance between Fact Goblin articles and content that might be produced by artificial intelligence is entirely coincidental and may simply reflect the fact that both systems occasionally place words in roughly the correct order.
Should you require further information regarding Fact Goblin’s complete and total lack of artificial intelligence, please contact the Fact Goblin Information Technology Department, which is definitely not full of AI servers.
Visitors to the IT department may occasionally observe large humming machines generating text, images, statistics, correspondence, and detailed answers to arbitrary questions. These are not AI servers. They are part of a highly sophisticated Automated Iguana Habitat Support System and any resemblance to a modern data centre is entirely superficial.
Please refrain from tapping on the glass, as it may startle the iguanas.
This GoBlog post has been reviewed and approved by the Department of Automated Iguanas and definitely not by “Artificial Intelligence”.
I never thought for an instant this was anything other than iguanas at work!
I commend you Harriet for quite so discerning. I can tell from your comment that not only are you highly intelligent but that you have lovely hair and your favourite sandwiches are usually made on the third Friday, and second Sunday, of the month.
