George R.R. Martin is not going to easily let go of ChatGPT after a fan used it to finish the final two books of ‘A Song Of Ice And Fire‘ series. The author along with many other authors have got together to sue the parent company OpenAI. In the lawsuit, the author mentioned the fan who had used the AI tool to complete the last two books of George RR Martin’s masterpiece.
Fans have been waiting for Martin to release his sixth book ‘The Winds of Winter’ for over a decade now. Though the HBO series finale did not give the needed thrill, it’s in the novel that fans have their hopes on. Completing the novel with AI has given a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the novel saga. However, with the lawsuit, the AI-generated books have been taken down.
