Book four is what fucked the story, it made it too complex and made it to messy for him to write.

Maybe an LLM will help him finish it in 2030

Is he legally obligated to follow the shows ending or major plot points? I get that he sent the producers his outline for how it was all to end in his head probably without really thinking it properly through and if he was actually writing it out he probably would've changed it significantly through that process so now he's trapped, he's seen how his rough notes played out in the field and no doubt doesn't like it but if he can't course correct drastically what can he do other than simply drag it out till the end of time, I reckon HBO have him over a barrel

No, I don't think he's legally obliged to keep the same ending or major plot points. He may keep them, but because the books are already vastly different from the show, the journey to those plot points will be more fleshed out.

However, I can see why people would think HBO have George under the whip. 10 years ago he almost had the book finished (his words), so what happened? The lore around the writing of Winds will probably be more exciting than the book (if we ever get it)

People should just leave both him, and his old age alone.

At this point, the books wont ever happen. We just have to live with it.
