I actually find ChatGPT quite poor at this because it doesn't understand story structures. It will do a "slice of life" thing, but it's not very interesting.

I actually trained the davinci engine on some Aesop summaries, and managed to get something uhhh... different.

sample:

    The Princess and the Cat

    A Princess was given a tiny Cat by her godmother as a gift. The Cat was very special and could talk. One day, the Cat warned the Princess of an impending danger. But the Princess laughed at it and said: "You are only a silly cat, how can you know about such things?" Sure enough, the danger came true and the Princess realized that she should have listened to her pet.

    Moral: Don't underestimate anyone; you never know what they might be capable of achieving
It's not perfect, but they're not meant to replace human writers yet.
