Science fiction just is about entertainment. An AI that's all but invisible and causes no problems isn't really a character worth exploring.
Yeah, but don't you see the problem in that by itself? Even in the best case scenario we are heading into a future where humanities existence is so boring that it has no more stories worth telling.
We see a precursor to that with smartphones in movies today. The writer always have to slap some lame excuse in there for the smartphones to not work, as otherwise there wouldn't be a story. Hardly anybody can come up with ideas on how to have an interesting story where the smartphones do work.
No, I don't see a problem in old tropes dying.
