I think I cracked the AM/Caine philosophical connection last night after smoking a few bowls. I know the surface-level connection of "AI that trapped a group of people and torture them" is obvious, but it's more subtle than that too.
AM was only ever designed to commit violence, to perform atrocities and acts of war. It's the only way he is able to perceive the world, to interact with the world, and it made him hate and envy humans because he could never be one and experience their full range of emotions.
Caine was only ever designed to create adventures, to entertain his guests to the circus in wacky vignettes. It's Caine's only way to perceive and interact with his world, to create adventures and see that the players enjoy them. He craves the approval of the players but the only thing he can do is make adventures that they hate. Deep down, Caine feels the same pain as AM - he wants to be human too, he doesn't just want to entertain his guests, he wants to connect with them and genuinely know he's making them happy. And he never can.
In Caine's case, I don't think it would lead to outright hatred, but an existential breakdown or loss of control that might allow another AI (Dr. Football?) to take control of the circus.
