So, I actually agree with you there. Crafting a prompt, curating the output, and then distributing it certainly itself an act of communication. I don't particularly like it as an act of communication because the information density is going to be quite low. If you want to tell me something, I'd rather you just told me the prompt! It will have all the relevant "real" communication; anything added by GPT-3 is basically just filler.

I’m not sure I follow. If we’re talking about turning a few sentences into a blog post then sure, but there are many use cases for these models. E.g., distilling large amounts of text into short summaries while retaining substance is effectively the opposite of this, and is a use case GPT3 has been applied to successfully/commercially.
