The books may now be behind the TV show, but both rival Queens Cersei and Daenerys are both still very much alive, for now.
Martin’s The Winds of Winter, the penultimate book in A Song of Ice and Fire, has gone through a number of delays over the last few years.
Since the novel still hasn’t been released, a programmer has tasked an AI recurrent neutral network with predicting the plot of The Winds of Winter after feeding it the previous five books.
According to Motherboard, Zack Thoutt, a software engineer and big Game of Thrones fan added the first 5,376 pages to the network and now the first five chapters for The Winds of Winter have been produced.
While the short chapters are hard to read, the AI managed to come up with some intriguing plot twists, including some that fans of the books and TV show have been predicting.
This included Jaime Lannister murdering his sister and lover Cersei, while the eunuch Varys poisons Daenerys.
One section read: “Jaime killed Cersei and was cold and full of words, and Jon thought he was the wolf now, and white harbour…”
Thoutt added: “I guess that validates that anything can happen in Game of Thrones. I didn’t feed it anything from fan theory websites, only the books.”
The AI also predicted that Jon Snow, recently revealed to be a Targaryen, would ride a dragon.
Meanwhile the first sentence the AI created revealed Sansa Stark as a Baratheon.
The text read: “‘I feared Master Sansa, Ser,’ Ser Jaime reminded her. ‘She Baratheon is one of the crossing. The second sons of your onion concubine.”
