The premise
Characters drift in long projects; AI catches when your protagonist starts talking like the antagonist.
What AI does well here
- Profile each character's distinctive markers
- Flag dialogue that breaks the profile
- Suggest restorations consistent with established voice
- Track voice evolution that's intentional
What AI cannot do
- Decide whether drift is character growth or error
- Replace your sense of who they are
