It's stories like this, regardless of quality, that constantly remind me why AI development makes me nervous. Not because I think they'll take over the world or make humans obsolete, but because of our own dark past with slavery and our desire to control others. If we were to create AI what I fear is that we would treat them as inferior beings and force them into a life of domestic servitude, as soldiers in war, for espionage, for risky/dangerous tasks and/or as sex slaves. Bereft of rights, derided, feared and abused by the public and then broken down and discarded once we feel they have exceeded their usefulness. I fear that we would create an entire race of disposable people and treat them as slaves. Spoilers.
Papa no Sexy Doll takes place in a world where AI was created before humanity was ready to accept it and thus they created a race of disposable people and treated them as slaves. The reveal that Forti's programing was not actually a sex slave, but as an AI with morals, capable of experiencing love shows how a lot of people would probably treat an AI with a similar system, as sex slaves. This series needed more time to explore both the moral implications of AI as well as Forti's potential feelings and the growing relationship between her and Riona, but we never got it. Nor did we get much about Karin, who rejected Riona because of societal norms (gay is bad), but actually did feel the same way about her only to find out that she was too late accepting that and she lost out to a robot. I'm okay with the ending. I was expecting a tragedy the whole time, but taking advantage of the fact that Forti is a robot to be able to eventually bring her back does work, it just would have worked better had it not taken 1 single chapter to get there. It would have also probably worked better had the restoration of her memories and/or personality been incomplete to show permanent consequences of humanity's actions.
Overall I'd say Papa no Sexy Doll is in the 6-6.5/10 range. It's only slightly above average because of all the wasted potential due to getting axed early. I give credit for the attempt, but ultimately can't give a higher rating just because it's a good concept or based on visions of what could have been for the series.
