How deeply does Build a Website with ChatGPT cover style?

Explains sample-based prompting and review, but stops short of guaranteeing polished or error-free imitation.

Style

As explained in Build a Website with ChatGPT

Writing style is the characteristic manner in which an author uses language, structure, and rhetorical choices.

Style is the characteristic way language, structure, tone, and rhetorical choices create a writer’s voice. ChatGPT can approximate that voice when you provide examples rather than simply naming an author or style. section 7.2.4

Build a more reliable style prompt by following these steps:

Provide two or more writing samples in quotation marks; one long sample can work, but more text generally improves the analysis. section 7.2.4
Match the samples to the tone you want, and optionally request a small influence from a favored author. section 7.2.4
Review the result for factual errors, clumsy passages, and unsuitable real names; treat the output as a draft requiring revision. section 7.2.4

A practical style prompt
