It's funny - my reactions to this, I realized, were all inspired by Mass Effect. On the one hand, I was thinking Asari (if you haven't played, it's pretty much a whole species of touch-telepathic, telekinetic blue space women) and how amazing it might be to share thoughts. On the other hand, there's David who was hooked up to a network of intelligent software (not technically AI - think of it like a self-replicating hivemind that needs several hundreds, if not thousands, of different software instances to control a body) and pretty much lost his mind until he was unhooked - which was made worse by the fact the reason he was hooked is that he was autistic and could understand the machine-speak.
I just hope it's not too loud in there.
