An LLM it a tool of communicative expression, but so it the written or spoken word, music etc. It is a medium throug which the intent travels. As a Dutchman, I have a preference of being direct and clear, but the impact of my words sometimes have the opposite effect, as my listeners do not have my context and can react emotionally to a worded message that is meant factually. If an LLM can help me translate such expression to a language that is better for my target audience to understand, then it is similar to translating into another language.
Still, the written word is no substitute for the full breadth of human expression couple with sufficient context. I find my communication often fails because I assume context (and sometimes intelligence) that my partners don’t have.
Apart from that, communication is often not about hearing another one’s mind, it can also, and often is, about trying to impose one’s own worldview on another. Most broadcast media are: you are not intended to know anything about the mind of the creator of the message, that is in fact an irrelevant aspect of the broadcast message.
