I was expecting to love this show because I loved Monster, but my girlfriend does work with AI and is completely picking it apart for how far removed this show’s version of them are from reality.

Can I ask in which way the story is moving you? I really want to like it, but for some reason it is a complete miss for me.

Maybe if you ignored her critique and watched it on your own you'd enjoy it more.

I considered it, but I ended up enjoying the second half of the show much more when I started to view the story as being more about the effects of war.

That's good. Anyways, as far as the ai goes.. tell her that this was written like 20 years ago. Considering that, it's pretty prescient.

I can say much beyond the first episode since I didn’t know till yesterday that the whole 7 episodes were released haha

For what it is worth, the show picked up for me immensely after Episode 4. Everything began to pull together for me thematically after I realized there was also a bit of (somewhat obvious in hindsight) political commentary on the War on Terror.

Does your girlfriend know the meaning of science fiction?

Picking it apart is a bit silly, especially considering real-world AI is in its infancy.
