This is also related to human composition.
Whether written out or not, few writers just start typing a story and see where it goes.

So if you have a paragraph summary of a story you want to be 10 pages, having the first step be generating a one page treatment of the story from the paragraph and then feeding that in to writing the full story will lead to a better pacing.
Want more interesting character arcs? Have it generate short character motivations, vulnerabilities, etc for key characters that gets fed in before the one page step.
"Fancy autocomplete" is a powerful tool, but it isn't a replacement for story workshoping. But the latter can be embedded as a process into the former fairly successfully, particularly with few shot intermediate steps.
