That kind of thing has already been happening for quite a while, though. Books have long had disclaimers along the lines of ‘the following events and characters are entirely fictional and are not based on any people from the real world’ — I recall seeing them in e.g. Wodehouse’s books from the 1940s, so it’s not like it’s a new thing.

Those warnings are more a protection for libel lawsuits than they are about warning that the contained fictional story is fictional.
