Breaking News: Exclusive Sneak Peek into GRRM's Final 2 Books for Game of Thrones Fans - AI Delivers After 12 Year Wait!

Summary

While the AI's rendition does not include significant character fatalities, it endeavors to faithfully culminate the series that has stirred anticipation for more than 25 years.

Fans, growing frustrated with Martin's lack of updates on the development of The Winds of Winter, have turned to using AI to complete the series, igniting an ethical debate on the matter. Despite the ongoing wait for the next Game of Thrones book, one fan has managed to finish the series using AI. George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, which served as the inspiration for Game of Thrones, comprises of five mainline books, leaving two yet to be released and completing the series. The most recent installment in the mainline saga, A Dance With Dragons, was published in 2011. On the contrary, The Winds of Winter remains a work in progress.

Why Fans Turned To AI To Finish Game Of Thrones

Liam Swayne from GitHub has harnessed the power of Artificial Intelligence to bring closure to the iconic A Song of Ice and Fire series after a book drought of more than ten years. As per IGN's report, Swayne employed ChatGPT to meticulously outline The Winds of Winter and the ultimate installment, A Dream of Spring. Utilizing Martin's distinctive writing style, the AI was compelled by Swayne to craft each chapter. Remarkably, while ChatGPT stayed true to the series, uncharacteristically, it refrained from eliminating any major characters, which have been infamous trademarks of both Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire. However, the AI managed to deliver an otherwise faithful conclusion for the series.

To say that the ending of Game of Thrones was controversial would be an understatement. The pace at which the season rushed through the Night King's attack on Winterfell, Daenerys' fall from grace, and King Bran's official coronation was nothing short of breathtaking. This swift progression starkly contrasts with A Song of Ice and Fire, as fans have eagerly awaited the conclusion since the release of A Game of Thrones in 1996, over a quarter of a century ago.

Martin has been reluctant to provide many updates on the progress of The Winds of Winter, and information about A Dream of Spring has been even scarcer. Adding to the frustration of the long wait, several chapters of The Winds of Winter were already finished when A Dance With Dragons was released. Meanwhile, Martin has released various books within the same universe, including Fire and Blood, which has become the inspiration for HBO's House of the Dragon.

Although The Winds of Winter is expected to be Martin's lengthiest book yet, audiences find the wait no less agonizing. After many years of eagerly anticipating an official release date, it comes as no surprise that some have turned to AI for a resolution. The ethical implications of using AI to complete a series remain ambiguous, but Swayne claims that ChatGPT is not yet capable of properly concluding the books. It is possible that a race may ensue between George R. R. Martin, HBO, and AI to determine who can provide the superior conclusion to the Game of Thrones books.
