While I agree with some of what you've said and the conclusion you've arrived at, in the end, I think you've missed part of the picture here with regard to "prompting experiences".
> Communication only works if you have multiple levels of representation and abstraction, including but not limited to - letter shapes, grammatical structures, style and register, stylometry
These are methods of encoding, there's no reason all of these can't be represented in an LLM from a technical point of view.
> and subtext.
This is the other half of the equation to me. Humans communicate by relating shared experiences, an LLM cannot have shared experiences. While it might be able to encode subtext that has been specifically called out and explained, it will never be able to encode the breadth of human subtext, especially that which is reliant on emotion.
I don't believe it is possible to change this until the point mankind truly develops a "wetware interface" to the digital world (and I personally don't want such a thing to exist).
