Suggestion:

The AI can suggest when a user post to a topic that they are going off-topic. It should also be configurable so that if a topic collects to many of these off-topic replies a flag is sent so the moderator can possibly take action. Also for users that collect to many off-topic replies they are silenced for a few days or some other corrective action.

I like this idea — it could ask if they want to create a linked thread.
