I think I detected more Seuss than Dahl. The factory polluted the rivers, created smog and harmed the wildlife (poor Barbaloots and Swomee Swans). The only thing missing was the Lorax.
Also, Dahl books tend to be meaner. Someone always gets a comeuppance. No one here was sucked into a chocolate river or eaten by giants.
What would happen if you put in the prompt to eliminate passive voice?
Good point. Possibly my fault. I did ask for Dahl's style, but not for his kind of plot (just "a witty story"). But it may also be the AI's preference for blandness and political correctness that's showing here. I suppose mean stuff like that can be generated, but only if you specifically ask for it. Certainly worth exploring further.
