A Song of Ice and Fire is five books in with only two left to go.
While The Winds of Winter, the penultimate book, still doesn’t a release date, one Game of Thrones fan tasked an AI to write the upcoming novel.
The recurrent neutral network was fed the five previous books and produced five short chapters, with some odd grammar and wording, predicting the plot of The Winds of Winter.
Most interesting of all saw the AI use some of the biggest fan theories as plot points, without being fed any of them.
Speaking with Motherboard, programmer and Game of Thrones fan Zack Thoutt revealed the very first sentence his AI came up with after feeding it the first 5,376 pages of Martin’s novels.

Incredibly it revealed that Sansa was in fact a Baratheon all along, potentially the daughter of the late King Robert.
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.”
Seeing as Ned Stark was looking after Jon Snow – a Targaryen in real life – as a bastard, could the same be true of Sansa, the current Lady of Winterfell in TV show?
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.”
Since the AI analysed the first five books, could it have stumbled upon some subtle hints that fans have too?
