Don't be so sure about that. Pick some fictional work you like and ask ChatGPT to drill down into the factors that constrain and motivate the characters and be surprised. You might need to go through a few exchanges to filter out inaccurate or misremembered summaries.

LLMs also lack (for now) an appreciation of what givens have large significance for humans because they are so obvious, eg discoursing and speculating on the problems a character encounters by making inferences about personality and life situation, but neglecting to mention at first that the person is blind. For a human this would be a fundamental distinguishing factor, whereas to an LLM it appears as just another factoid unless its specifically asked to evaluate its own contextual frame.
