I just finished reading The Turing Option, a SF book written by Harry Harrison and Marvin Minsky in 1992, but set in what they thought or hoped would be the modern day.
As a piece of propaganda, as a statement of AI theory, as any kind of futurist prediction it fails. As a story, it's not the worst thing I've read, but these days one might call the underlying story YA. It's that immature, or at least naiive. But the romance is between the AI researcher and the technology as they grow together. Any human affections are dead ends.
