alt Hacker News> there is some very dubious sexual exploitation as an entirely unnecessary plot point.
Taking the thinnest of fair slivers, I think that's reasonably common in pre-(80s?90s?00s?) sci-fi/fantasy.

"entirely unnecessary plot point"
Are you sure it is dubious?
Woman used as sexual party favors still happens in real life today. Since it is a common weakness, why can't an AI exploit that.
Some might say our own government is now in control of a foreign government, purely on exploiting that weakness. So it is realistic tactic.
