Thinking about it, perhaps GRRM should've used AI as a sounding board in order to get his book finished much sooner.
As much as I complain about his extreme slowness, I'd still rather get a book written 100% by GRRM! The computers can get their turn after he, me, you, and everyone else is dead...
I was just thinking the opposite. Maybe we can get AI to give us that last book that we are otherwise may never see. Especially if it actually does end as poorly as the TV series did.
Chat GPT write me a final novel for ASOIF in the style GRRMartin but with a better ending.
I think I just read somewhere that there was already an AI-produced version of the last two books.
Speaking of unfinished books before the creator died, I'd really like to know how AI would try to finish Tintin and Alph-Art, the last book before Herge died
I get your sentiment, and I'm not gonna argue against it. As a freelance illustrator, I've had my own fair share of problems meeting deadlines. I wish I can just make art at my own pace, but my clients want work to be churned out as soon as possible. Which I will relate this conversation with AI. I feel like AI (at its current usage) just perpetuates the vicious cycle in capitalism where quantity trumps quality, or that they have unrealistic expectations for work to be of high quality but with unrealistic deadlines. That's why they turn to AI.
