Started off as a great story about a super AI then … alien dogs with some kind of mind reading distributed pack intelligence? Really disappointing. Didn’t bothe

  I think you very much missed the point. The tine packs don't mind read, they have high bandwidth sonic communication and their mind is brought into being through that communication. Much like the same can be said of you, whose brain consists of specialized regions with high-bandwidth communication between them. Individually they're rather dumb dogs, but together they can form a higher intelligence. It's an extremely interesting way to explore the nature of the mind, and what it means to be a conscious, thinking entity. The super-AI thing is just a thriller plot point to move the story forward, by comparison.
