> Its true value lies as a writing tool.
I think the author is not making a clear enough distinction between writing and generating "content". Content has become a hollow commodity in the new media landscape. It's purpose it to generate clicks, not inspire on a deeper level. GPT-3 seems much more geared towards the content side vs the expressive side that defines great written pieces.
Writing is so much more about the mental process of refining ones thoughts, rather than the act of scribbling lines onto a page. Writing is hard because it forces clarity in order to be effective. I don't see how using an AI tool to outsource the heavy lifting of reflection and rumination can be considered a true "writing" tool.
