The point is not that the system lacks creativity, it's more about claims like the one in Wikipedia that "the quality of the text generated by GPT-3 [being] so high that it can be difficult to determine whether or not it was written by a human". "There’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to climb a rope faster if you hold your ears with both hands, but it’s worth a try!" doesn't look like something a human would write - except in the sense that any gibberish written by the system could also have been written by a human. This kind of "quality" is relevant when the technology is hyped as an information processing tool.
