Well, it's certainly interesting that it can learn metaphors, and this can be useful for creative purposes, so it's fun to play with.
But a sophisticated understanding of metaphors could be used to tell the truth or to lie. In the case of GPT-3, it doesn't know the difference. Telling the truth and lying come out of the same autocompletion process.
If you consider the use of a metaphor to be showing judgement, it means that a particular metaphor seems to be appropriate to use in a particular context.
