AIBU to think the robot was better company than Sue's son?

I have finished watching Ann Droid on BBC and absolutely loved it. I have seen many threads on here and reddit where people are relying heavily on AI and dare I say.. are entering relationships of sorts. I always thought these people were a bit mad.. but after watching Ann Droid, my opinion has changed slightly.

Sue had an awful son. Had no real interest in his mum. He was rude, arrogant and forgetful. The day the robot was sent back he forgot his mums medication, forget it was her 50th anniversary and made fun of her having a dinner party. After moving back in, his priority was going on a date! I know its a tv series and not real however, it got me thinking... humans can be horrible and maybe thats why people are relying on AI too much. Linda didnt forget Sue's medication, she was keeping Linda busy to keep her mind off her 50th anniversary, she instantly recognised Sue was depressed... etc.

Anyway, i would have sent the son away rather than the robot. What a horrible man he was.

I would love an Ann Droid.
Loved the series too.

Yeah, Sue’s son was an oaf, but the guy who plays him is a fabulous actor.

Her son was useless. I want to call him Kevin but it wasn't that.
