> this model is not designed for complex conversational use cases

... but it's also the perfect choice for creative writing ...?

Isn't this a contradiction? How can a model be good at creative writing if it's no good at conversation?

I think they mean it's not designed to be able to converse with the user over long/complex topics, but it can generate fictional conversations fine.

Not necessarily. Where do you think the overlap is between these two tasks?

Good question! The overlap is a very interesting space.

Perhaps the overlap is where human input and oversight becomes valuable: in terms of veracity, trust, relevance, interestingness, etc

		Yeah, I guess "creative writing" in this case is a shortcut for essentially saying they aren't that good at conforming to user-specified constraints. They can generate "creative" texts but can't necessarily constrain and iterate on their output in a conversational setting effectively.
