Full blown AI as in a person, albeit synthetic, well you have Data, and the EMH in Voyager.
Striking upon the version of a synthetic ‘intelligence’, but just an echo chamber for the person that it is made in service for, yeah, those are there and better as a one shot, at least in a show where the recurring cast shouldn’t be completely dysfunctional. It’s a way to show a character growing and facing the negative consequences of ‘the easy way out’, and not very good if the character has to just stay in the muck for the duration.
Well the ai friend could be “a la Matrix” and thus not the easy way out but like a parenting/concerned friend. But I still imagine it would be not very funny.
Well they fiddle a bit with it, but full blown AI companions for everyone? Guess it’d be boring as hell to watch…
