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 very large percentage of society I suspect is afraid of that and would happily give away freedom for safety. Eliza's argument does make sense, a dictator without an "ego", or at least not one like a human would have would be more trustworthy, especially when it had the option to force itself a lot more than it did but it didn't.
