“Game of Thrones” fans eagerly awaited the conclusion of the literary saga “The Winds of Winter” and “A Dream of Spring”, written by acclaimed author George RR Martin. However, faced with uncertainty about the release of the last two books in the series, an independent developer, Laim Swayne, took the initiative to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create an ending for the books.
Is the result up to the author’s creative resourcefulness? Understand below.

Liam Swayne explained the process by which he guided the AI to write the final chapters of the “Game of Thrones” books in a recent interview.
First, he used a series of commands to generate an outline of the remaining 45 chapters, which were later refined in ChatGPT. The developer then asked the AI to provide more detailed descriptions of the chapters, using extended outlines as stimuli for creating the books themselves.
Although the project was a bold attempt to fill the void left by George RR Martin’s lack of official completion, Swayne revealed that AI does not have the ability to create surprising deaths like the author. However, he was quick to remember characters who simply disappeared from the work without much or no explanation.
The television series “Game of Thrones”, created by David Benioff and DB Weiss, was based on the first five “A Song of Ice and Fire” books and became a global phenomenon.
With the end of the TV series, fans of the literary work are looking forward to the ending in the books. The use of Artificial Intelligence as a creative tool for this feat raises questions about the use of technology in literature and opens up new possibilities for the future of writing.
The outcome provided by AI marks a very peculiar moment in the history of literature and interaction with technology. While this approach is innovative and intriguing, it is essential to remember that the books written by RR Martin hold a special place in fans’ hearts and that, at some point, the author himself may present his unique vision for the long-awaited series finale.
The combination of human creativity with the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence opens up new perspectives for the literary world. However, the authenticity of Martin’s vision continues to be eagerly awaited by avid readers of the saga.
The official release date of the last two books remains shrouded in mystery, but the contribution of AI, through ChatGPT, certainly provides an interesting perspective for fans eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the saga that captivated the world.
While we wait for the definitive outcome from the hands of acclaimed author George RR Martin, this innovative approach to Artificial Intelligence brings a touch of novelty and curiosity to the “Game of Thrones” universe.
Fans can explore this alternative interpretation, but remain hopeful of witnessing the saga creator’s authentic vision for the long-awaited conclusion.
