Rings of Power already had such bad and nonsensical writing that I would find it more surprising if it secretly hadn't been written by an AI...
Anyway, I once happened upon this example where someone set an AI to write Tolkien fanfiction:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/39071013
The jumbled timeline, the confused geography, and the general lack of sense and consistency all give me that Rings of Power feel.
(As for myself, I've mentioned before on this forum that I'm trying to write a sequel novel. The sequel might be very unlikely to be ever be properly completed, but in any case there will have absolutely no AI text generation involved. I will also respect the timeline in the Appendices. I think being too safe and predictable isn't being genuinely respectful of Tolkien and his writing style, so there will be some pretty radical plot twists. Currently I'm working to improve and expand the synopsis, as I've found out that the top-down approach works the best for me.)

I'd be interested to read it.
If you enjoy writing, you should try your hand at finishing Aldarion and Erendis. I've always wondered how that story ends.

I once wrote a few chapters on both Amandils older brother Elentir and Elendils youngest son Herendil, both fascinating characters only mentioned once each in very few lines. Fun doing!

Aldarion and Erendis continuation

I did a reread of Aldarion and Erendis based on your words, and I think Christopher included enough notes that it's pretty clear how the story would have developed. Completing the story would require filling in all the minor details (such as Soronto's characterization and how exactly Erendis died) and putting it all in good prose. I don't see myself as being up to the task. Completing Aldarion and Erendis would indeed be "simpler" than writing a sequel to The Lord of the Rings, but the effort would play to my weaknesses.
(I also figured out something that could result in an essay post in the Reading Room forum about the surprising true villain of Aldarion and Erendis, but it's going to take a while.)
