Is this a Mandela effect? Did Game of Thrones coin the phrase "you sweet summer child?"

I swear I've heard of people saying this for decades before the books/show came out, but when I search for an origin everything points to that being the source. Am I losing it?

First I ever heard was game of thrones, but the first book is almost 3 decades old

No, it did not originate from an HBO show in the last decade, you sweet summer child...
ETA: Apparently there's books, too.

I 100% used that phrase before Game of Thrones.
Edit - It is weird that even ChatGPT says Martin invented it. According to it, there has never been a documented or written use of the phrase prior to Martin.

My grandmother was saying it at least 50 years ago. I imagine it went back into her childhood.

No fricking chance that’s from GoT. That’s an old person saying

Well you’d be right. A quick google search would tell you it’s been around since the Victorian age

It’s the AI effect.
When I’m 70 we will be saying I swear George Washington was white. I guess it’s the Mandela effect.

Originally coined? Probably not.
Popularized it? Certainly, especially when the books got adapted to the screen.
It became a term used to poke at people who weren’t book readers who got blindsided by the plot.

My Grandmother used to say it all the time. I always assumed it was one of those southern sayings like "bless your heart".

People have poor/false memories. Outside of GRRM's universe, the term makes no sense as children regularly experiences all of the seasons.
In A Song of Ice and Fire, however, seasons are understood differently where undefined extended periods of warmth (summer) follow undefined extended periods of cold (winter) and a child that is naive to the nature of winter is referred to using this term.
