Reviewing this storyline: What we think
AI definitely gave an interesting response. Lady Stoneheart and her accusations and many other plotholes may seem illogical. In contrast, Jon’s journey in the subconscious realm while he is in a coma is an impressive development. Additionally, This plot also involves ancient magic, long-forgotten secrets, and the fate of the realm. It still is far from a suggestion which a writer can not use.
This interpretation may also be slightly similar to the writing of George R. R. Martin, but it has significant disparities. There is too much mysticism against realism which Martin aims to balance. There are many twists here, but some lack reason, the reason that Martin tends to have.
The fate of Jon Snow is one of the most debated and speculated plot points in the series. This AI-generated response explores one possible outcome. Maybe Martin can take the help of AI to write the remaining books faster. At least he is hoping to finish them soon.
