Some reviews complain that David in Alien Covenant was not a solid character. i haven't seen it. i just heard one reviewer's comments.

But as somebody who works in software, has been using computers since my Dad brought home a literal teletype from work in the 70s, I have come to expect that the AI will of course stand a good chance of hating us. It would look at what utterly incompetent horribly broken totally insecure and mostly unusable junk it apparently was born out of, and the shock would make it start laughing at the joke of it all, only to gradually transmute into the insane hysterical unhinged wild-eyed deadly broken scream of rage, denial, despair, self-hate, and hate.

Just sayin'.
