I sometimes enjoy science fiction stories where advanced AI and technology have agency, volition, purpose, and powerful capabilities. Other times, I cannot suspend my disbelief and cannot enjoy the story. For example, I find the Craig Alanson "skippy" series fun and entertaining and I don't mind the personalities and anthropomorphization of the AI systems. However, I don't like the Vaughn Heppner books. I did not like this Adrian Tchaikovsky book because the (unneeded) descriptions of the software and decision systems in all of the robots were so terrible. 2/5 Stars.
