    They beat you over the head with the metaphor multiple times in the show. The main character has conversations with the hivemind ripped straight from AI chatbot logs.

    At one point she jokingly asks them for a grenade and they give it to her, not understanding the subtext/danger.

      No they understand the danger fully. That is also why they hesitate with giving her a nuclear bomb, but state that if it makes her happy they would still do it. They are fully cognisant, they both know facts and can put those facts in context. We see that they are, for instance, fully capable of understanding the emotional importance of the hats.

      I don’t feel like you can spoil much since literally nothing that has any actual relevance to the narrative has happened since episode 1.

      Except maybe the introduction of the paraguyan guy, the milk, and possibly maybe the introduction of the pirate lady or whatever her name is in episode like 2.
