I'm extremely tempted to side with ChatGPT. Martin has been promising books #6 and #7 - which would complete his series "A Song of Ice and Fire" - for THIRTEEN years. Once the HBO adaptation started, Martin quit writing on the series - which forced HBO to come up with its own ending for the epic tale. Readers have yet to receive any conclusion to the series - despite repeated assurances by Martin over the years that books #6 and #7 were "nearly complete." Pardon the pun, but in my book, the man is guilty of the crime of authorial malpractice.
