Artificial intelligence is writing the next 'Game of Thrones' book

Winter is kind of here. "Game of Thrones" fans have grown so impatient for George R.R. Martin to finish the next "A Song of Ice And Fire" book – the series that the HBO show is based on – that an artificial intelligence system just wrote the beginning of the sixth book. Zack Thoutt, a "GoT" fan and software engineer, created a type of AI, known as a recurrent neural network. Thoutt fed the machine all 5,376 pages of the five current books and it generated predictions on what will happen next. While the AI's effort is definitely not a Martin novel, the sentences are mostly easy to understand and the predictions reportedly align with some popular fan theories.
