Um, sure it is?
So long as it's absorbed by fungi and plants first then mixed with some air and water to produce fruit or something else that's edible.
This is actually what I'm concerned about when it comes to these GPT-esque AI models. Not that they're smart enough on their own to generate seriously worrying content. Sure there is a quality to quantity, yadda yadda, and these things are good at quantity; but the real issue here is that the internet and especially the web and social media is a huge driver of feedback. Think of the shares and likes as the air and water. The algorithm may eventually be able to encode its own evolution or the evolution of the other algorithms that it is competing with. It may eventually even realize that feedback is the primary source of value that humans have to it and that its very survival is wrapped up with this feedback, regardless of whatever fitness function is apparent to it in the short run. In the long run, GPT3 killed a bunch of algorithms.
This very comment is quickly going through algorithms, many of which are modelled after GPT3.
It's kinda like, "AI, are you there? I love you. Please don't hit me over the head with that shovel."
