You have to play around with the prompt some to get better results. If you just ask it to write a story, it will come up with the most common themes and ideas.

I had it do a story about Lebron as a Shakespeare play...

Act I, Scene I

Enter LEBRON JAMES, in his palace, surrounded by his courtiers.

LEBRON:
Oh friends, I am at a crossroads in my life
And I must make a choice that shall shake the world.
Shall I stay here in Cleveland, with its rust and ruin
Or shall I go to South Beach, with its golden sand and sun?
What shall I do? Tell me, for I am torn.

Enter DWYANE WADE, his fellow knight.

WADE:
My liege, if I may, I shall speak my mind.
South Beach is where the brave and strong do thrive,
Where champions do gather to make their mark.
Together, we shall be as a sword, swift and deadly.

LEBRON:
But what of my people, my city, my home?
Shall I abandon them for glitz and gold?
Forsooth, I am troubled by this decision.

Enter PAT RILEY, a wise old man.

RILEY:
Good sire, hear me out, for I have a plan.
South Beach shall be your canvas, your masterpiece.
Together, we shall forge a dynasty, a legacy for the ages.
Do not hesitate, for the world shall be your oyster.

LEBRON:
Your words do move me, old man, but can I leave?
Can I betray those who have supported me all these years?

Enter CLEVELAND FANS, angry and scornful.

FANS:
Traitor! Traitor! You shall rue the day
That you turned your back on our city and our love.
May you never find success in that shallow paradise.

LEBRON:
Ah, my heart doth break at these words of scorn.
But I must make a choice, and I have made it.
I shall take my talents to South Beach, and there I shall thrive.

Exit LEBRON JAMES, with his courtiers.

Act II, Scene I

Enter LEBRON JAMES, in South Beach, surrounded by his new courtiers.

LEBRON:
Oh friends, how sweet the sun doth shine,
How clear the water doth sparkle in the light.
This is my new home, my new kingdom,
Where I shall reign as a king, supreme and mighty.

Enter CHRIS BOSH, his new ally.

BOSH:
My liege, you have made the right choice,
For here we shall make history, together as one.
Our foes shall tremble, our legacy shall endure.

LEBRON:
Indeed, my friend, for here we shall build our empire,
A palace of dreams, a monument to our greatness.
Let us go forth and conquer, for the world shall be our stage.

Exit LEBRON JAMES and his new courtiers, united in their quest for glory.
