I rejected the analogies hive/AI until now, mostly because I believe the idea for the story started well before the current state of AI reached mainstream awareness (or well, exist in this state at all). I still think it's not a good analogy, but the hunger for new content is reminding me of the starvation of pretraining material every big AI company is feeling.
I also wasn't confident that AI played a big role in the story until now. I do think the original idea was happiness and humanity, but when you look at those ideas and start to expand on them, especially when looking at the current state of the world, a discussion of AI and the parallels are going to come up.
