This doesn't generate novel, meaningful text content without a template, but I'm unaware of any machine learning model that does this well (OpenAI's included). This model does absorb the 'rules' of the text, both grammar and structure (character names and dialogue, scene introductions, etc)
In my own project, I made use of this to find spelling and grammatical errors on Esperanto Wikipedia: https://medium.com/@mapmeld/esperanto-nlp-part-3-correcting-...

There is also a basket of 15 currencies plus gold, called Globcoin, though the balance of currencies, what currencies you could buy and sell Globcoins with, and relative share of each coin was difficult to interpret when I was looking into it.

We then went on 2 weeks vacation. When I came back, I was surprised to hear the contract was nearly up - they had supposedly been working over our vacation. This app looked identical to the MVP we'd seen before. I was upset, but there wasn't much we could do. Also it turns out the app didn't look flashy enough for leadership. This was a major wake-up call for me - I messed up here by not critiquing the app or making clear work hours expectations - but also I discovered that demo-ing an app to a whole group leads to a lot of group-think. The criticism only comes later and then you are screwed.
