Hmmm.  If GPT4 is going to write the best texts ever, who is going to
agree that it is the best text ever?
In theory, post-singularity porn stories and porn videos might also be
the best ever, but what you think is the best ever might be VERY
different from what I think is the best ever.
As one commenter pointed out, GPT4 can't just produce every possible
arrangement of words, as that would require more atoms than are in the
universe.
