For example, it is completely obvious that Ms. Perfection never-been-sued Dr Al-Hashibi was a going to make some kind of colossal error by relying on genAI instead of her gut.
I don't know if I agree, because they are also setting her up to be unlikeable and portraying her approach as heartless and overly reliant on technology, while showing Robby being right (over her objections) over and over. I see that as them setting Al-Hashibi up for a redemption and Robby up for a fall.
In Season 1 they would make feints like this and then upend your expectations. Like thinking Dr. Sanchez was just an arrogant jerk in the first few episodes and then discovering she's actually kind of awesome. Or showing Langdon bonding with Mel so that you come to really like him, which results in the viewer being hurt and betrayed when it turns out Sanchez is right about his drug abuse.
I trust the show not to do the most obvious, predictable thing, and to make the characters more layered and interesting than that.
