I was literally thinking the same lately. My newsletter has had a "story behind the story" section for years. My books have story notes. I enjoy that and my readers seem to too, but I'd hate for that to be a requirement.

I'm one of those authors who enjoys talking about my stories, why I made certain choices, what ideas I was going for, etc. (its why all my short story collections include authors notes) But I'd hate if that became the default expectation for most writers because of concerns around AI nonsense.
