There is something called chatGT or something like that floating around, I know of another peak oil forum that has been using it to write actual posts, you feed it a phrase to start with, and it builds a story around it. Seems to do okay, it isn't immediately obvious that it is a bot, it writes very similar to this bot.
Plant Thu 27 Jul 2023 "Personally I think the IEA is exactly right when they predict peak oil in the 2020s, especially because it matches my own predictions."
Plant Wed 11 Apr 2007 "I think Deffeyes might have nailed it, and we are just past the overall peak in oil production. (Thanksgiving 2005)"

There are at least a couple "ghost writer" programs around that are marketed to new authors. You type in the first line or two of text and it writes the rest of the page of the story. You then read what it gives you and write the first line or two of the next page to direct the software in the direction you want the story to go. I have never used them myself and publishers are not fond of them either. Partly because for anything longer than a newspaper column or magazine article they tend to be easy to spot because they repeat the same type of scene in longer pieces. A romantic tryst in Chapter One might be duplicated in Chapter Five just because that is how the software knows to write romantic encounters. Lazy authors let the software repeat stuff and the story gets formulaic and boring pretty quickly. A less lazy author goes through the text and personalizes it changing scene elements and word choices, but the overall story is still pretty much the software formula chapter after chapter.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
