I think that prompting is definitely important. I've found that GPT as it is now can mimic any given author's style with great accuracy as long as it's given that author's text inside of the prompt. For example, "write a short story in the style of Nabokov" gives you a bland short story, while prompting with his verbatim text produces a pretty faithful continuation.
