ChatGPT Wrote Alternative GoT Ending: It's Even Worse
We all know how the vast majority of fans reacted to the finale of Game of Thrones. Everyone hated the ending, and the discussions of what should've happened have continued ever since.
Some people wait to see what George Martin does at the end of his book series; some suggest or even write their own endings to the show; and some try to take it even further.
Reddit user SiriProfComplex decided to employ the power of AI to create an alternative ending to Game of Thrones and asked ChatGPT to do just that. The neural network's scenario turned out… Interesting, to say the least.
See it for yourself.
In ChatGPT's scenario, as the final battle for the Iron Throne unfolds, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen fight side by side to defeat Queen Cersei's forces. So far so good, right?
But it turns out that Cercei also has a dragon she kept a secret, growing it somewhere no one could discover it. Her dragon appears all too powerful, and it seems all hope is lost for Jon and Dany, right until…
A mysterious figure riding yet another new dragon appears out of nowhere, and it's Rhaegar Targaryen, Dany's brother who everyone thought to be dead.
He also kept both himself and his dragon a secret, believe it or not, and now he decides to intervene and help his sister, so he joins the battle against Cercei.
All three Targaryen defeat the Queen and claim the Iron Throne, but another conflict emerges as both Dany and Jon consider themselves the rightful heir to the throne.
But their conflict is quickly put to an end by Rhaegar who gives a full-on hippie speech about peace, love, and unity.
Jon and Dany immediately realize that he's right and the people of Westeros are the number one priority, so they agree to rule together, having Rhaegar as their advisor.
The final scene shows everyone cheering and celebrating the trio of rulers who then take Westeros into the new era of peace and prosperity.
The end.
We'll let it sink for a while.
Now, tell us: how many things can you find in this scenario that feel very, very wrong? Because we've lost count, to be honest.
Two things are utterly obvious from this experiment, though.
First, neural networks still have a long way to go. Second… The original ending doesn't appear as terrible now, does it?
