I want evidence that an AI-written character voice is convincing: what do these three papers actually test with humans, and what is the simplest check I can do first?

Of the three, only ECHO has people judging AI-generated text, and it asks a different question: which of two answers came from the real (living, ordinary) person, not which character said a line. Deezer's paper has no human raters and no generated text. CoSER may have a human scoring study, but that is unverified here. So a newcomer should not expect any of them to say that readers can tell characters apart in AI-written dialogue. The simplest first check in ECHO's style is a blind pair test on your own cast: one human-written and one AI-written line for the same situation, pick the human one, with 50% as chance; for who-said-it checks use the protocol in S52-08.

Curator qualifications: Only ECHO has humans judging AI text, on a different question; the S52 scoped negative (no human study of AI lines attributed to fictional characters) stands, narrowed. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
