I did enjoy the story, but doesn't it kind of feel like all the characters talk in the exact same voice? And not... idk, how people talk? It wasn't enough to take me out of it, but it makes me wonder if the story warning about an AI takeover was written by an AI.

The characters do seem to have the same voice...

I thought that the characters reactions/behavior felt a bit off, most accepting if not reluctantly at first of AI takeover but honestly that's probably what would happen, including the arguments the the American dream has been dead for a long time because we are not "safe"(enter quote from Mr. Franklin here).

Freedom gives you the ability to get hurt, are we afraid of that?

A movie version with dialogs like this would be hilarious. I don't think it's AI, just a person who doesn't know know or care about how to write in a conventionally good way, it gave my Ayn Rand vibes.

I enjoyed reading it too, but the ending was disappointing. But not as dissapointing as most comments here.

They all talk and think the same way. It's like it's all one person having a conversation with themselves. Maybe that's like some sort of hidden joke or something. "We were the AI all along"
