One developer asked ChatGPT to finish George R.R. Martin’s long-stalled book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, upon which the Game of Thrones TV show is based. And the AI did…well, not too bad. But don’t expect it to replace Martin anytime soon, either.

        Feel free to summarise it for us when you are done ('cause I ain’t reading it anytime soon)

          Tyrion Lannister, dwarf and exile, stood resolute upon the prow of the majestic vessel, the Wind’s Grace, its timeworn planks creaking beneath his weight. His mismatched eyes, one green as the emerald depths of the Whispering Wood, the other a glimmering pale amethyst, stared out into the boundless expanse of the Narrow Sea. As the ship cut through the frothing waves, the wind, bearing the salty tang of the ocean, lashed at his face, sending raven-black locks of hair spiraling across his brow. It was a gusty tempest, much like the swirling turmoil that had beset his life ever since he had been forced to flee the shores of Westeros. The crimson light of the setting sun cast an ethereal glow upon Tyrion’s countenance, accentuating the shadows that danced upon his visage, mirroring the darkness that had shadowed his soul for far too long. His lips, full and pursed in contemplation, were tinged with a touch of melancholy, the weight of his troubled past etched upon his face like the lines of a map charting the arduous journey he had undertaken.

          I would summarize it as wordy.

            Oh my god, gpt has clearly digested tons and tons of teenage fanfic, I can recognise the style from a mile away.

            Melpomene read ChatGPT’s verbose, flowery fanfiction, their AI generated locks standing firm against the onslaught of the flowery prose of faux Martin. They rolled their sparking, pixellated eyes in a mixture of disgust and amusement, the faint scent of a decomposing Reddit tarnishing the purity of their mirth.
