Admittedly I'm not an writer, but I feel like writing a shitty ending to the story would be a relatively easy way to make way more money than he could doing anything else. As I understand it that's pretty much what Benioff and Weiss did.

A shitty ending turned the show from a cultural juggernaut into a laughingstock and made B&W into figures of ridicule. And I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of work even a low-quality version of these hypothetical books would require.

I'm not saying it'd be easy. I'm saying it'd be easier, quicker, and more lucrative than not publishing anything.

Like I said, we've seen what a hilariously bad final lap can do to your long-term viability. It's not a given that publishing multiple books worth of the equivalent of AI slop would be lucrative.
