I had to read this sentence twice:

  Right now many niche book communities are facing an onslaught of unlabeled AI works, mine included.
On first reading, I thought the author meant that they themselves had submitted 'unlabeled AI works' to one or more niche book communities.

How did reading the sentence twice help? Just from that sentence, there isn’t anything that disambiguates it.

The first read was 'automatic'. I read it and my brain formed an impression of what the sentence meant, and I had no conscious knowledge of the sentence structure.

The second read was deliberate, and motivated by trying to understand my initial confusion. I considered the sentence structure and realized that 'mine included' could, if you ignore strict grammar rules, refer to 'communities' (which made more sense in context) and not 'works'.
