I've been playing for this game for a few hours and it's constantly stuttering, especially in more open world areas.
Is there anything I can do to alleviate the problem?

Nier Automata (PS4 pro) is it supposed to be chugging so much?

The game was so well received, Im just a bit surprised that I never stumbled on people tearing it apart because of this issue. Well anyways, back to it.
The lack of consistency is an unfortunate reality when it comes to user opinions and reviews.
I've been playing this on pro and haven't noticed any stutter. The frame rate isn't consistent though so maybe that's what you're experiencing. It jumps around from 60 to down around mid forties depending on the action.
For what it's worth, it only really stutters while you're traversing the world, not during combat where fluid action matters the most.
That being said, a game that looks like a last-gen game with such a barren world shouldn't stutter like that, really, but it was a bit of a low-budget game so you gotta look past that.

Well, at least it doesn't crash often like the PC version. But yeah the game is quite a technical mess on PC and not polished on console either. Funny thing is that they released the "Game of the YorHa" edition and didn't fix anything.
But yeah, it's a game with a fair amount of problems that are usually ignored by most fans, I myself think that the game is good but no great, and the bad technical issues don't do the game any favor.
You can't explain everything away with 'In Nier's case it supports the narrative framework'.
Yeah it's a technical mess on the Pro and still only 1080p to boot.
That said, it's a technical mess on XBX and PC too, but just at a higher resolution.

I played it to completion on a base PS4 and can recall only two locations where I noticed stuttered, the amusement park being one. Maybe I'm not that sensitive to it?
Its reception was very unconcerned with its technical performance, as is relatively typical of Yoko Taro games. Don't expect the game to be a technological achievement.
The game was so well received (from the fans perspective at least) cause compared to other Yoko Taro games, Nier Automata's performance would be considered buttery smooth.
Sadly, as everyone has said, this is normal. It runs quite badly on all systems, including the PC.
