I just experimented with it. I couldn't get ChatGPT 4.5 to generate what I wanted, probably due to censorship or rate limits (ChatGPT Pro subscription); but Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental did the trick.
This is the end result:

I switch mid-prompt from Italian to English. It is interesting to see that Gemini reasoned in English even when writing back the initial answers in Italian.
Basically, I gave a somewhat exhaustive but generic track then asked it to give enough information to create a theatrical piece. I provided some stylistic references. A piece suitable to create a script for a tragedy is less abstract than the average output of a LLM, and forces it to create characters.
Then I asked to rewrite it as a short story a couple of time, asking to make adjustments (add more details and action, less abstract ideas) until I was satisfied.
I think I'd consider using NotebookLM or RAG-based, if I wanted something bigger and coherent.
