I've actually found it useful for "decreasing output", or distilling uncharted mountains of my own bullshit down into neatly organized buckets of bullshit.
The stuff I want to write about, I've usually written about many times in different contexts over many years. I can stuff all that into GPT-3, and it will summarize and organize it into a nice outline that I can edit, populate, and elaborate myself by talking or typing. So it's all my stuff, but GPT-3 has more of a subtractive and organizational role than a generative role. It does a pretty good job converting lots of redundant huge walls of text, flame war campaigns, and axe grinding diatribes, into concise outlines, introductions, summaries, lists, comparisons, etc.
I'm using it to organize, remix, and synthesize lots of papers, articles, postings, emails, conversations, notes, transcripts of video demos and talks, and other things I've written into a coherent 8 module "Vaster Class in Game Design". (Like a Master Class, but Vaster!)
