- Context: Readers on r/Romantasy asked in June 2026 where the AI allegations came from. The thread traces them to the author allegedly resharing a video about using AI to lengthen sentences, and to AI-generated fan art in the fandom. Nobody in the thread produced a source, and one reply notes the timeline does not fit ChatGPT’s release. source
