The author used AI to analyze the complex worldbuilding of A Song of Ice and Fire. The AI successfully mapped 3,942 characters spanning 300 years into a multilayered graph (kinship, alliances, conflicts), finding only 41 narrative inconsistencies.

The author notes that this AI visualization ironically deepens appreciation for human work, as managing global consistency under long-range dependence remains extremely difficult for LLMs, highlighting GRRM's incredible mental achievement. It also shows AI's potential as a tool to explore niche interests.
