The Gene of AI is underrated and it's a really good show, it's a shame that I only see few discussions about it. Despite the source being written in the past the topics that they tackle are very relevant to today's ai boom and what could happen in the near future.
The best sci fi is able to focus on very human questions without getting bogged down in crunchy, technical specifics. I am a big fan of the genre in western media, but haven't really explored it in anime very much.
I don't like Ai no Idenshi very much. It feels like a bunch of half-baked short stories clustered together without much love. I have seen shows handle this format a lot better.
The ideas are neat, but I think the execution is lacking.
I agree it might have been better to do it ala black mirror style rather than have a slow moving overall plot.
