No, these are clear creative differences.
I submit the same prompt dozens of times a day and run the output through a parser. It'll work fine for weeks then I have to change the prompt because now 20% of what is returned doesn't follow the format I've specified.
A couple months ago the stories ChatGPT 3.5 returned were simple, a few sentences in each paragraph, then a conclusion. Sometimes there were interesting plot twists, but the writing style was very distinct. Same prompt now gets me dramatically different results, characters are described with so much detail that the AI runs out of tokens before the story can be finished.
