I think the show has done a great job of making it enough of a mind-f that it stays interesting on a few different levels.
I also wouldn't accuse them of misleading at all (although I did use that word). They've just succeeded at creating the atmosphere where the line between humanity and the robots are blurred, which is automatically going to lend itself to speculation from the audience.
With Nolan and Abrahms involved, you never really know if there will be crazy twists or not. People forget that before Lost got all stupid, with time travel and evil/good spirits, most of the mysteries were initially resolved by common sense. So Westworld could just be what it is on its face. Maybe the maze is just a way out of the park.
Quite frankly I find this speculation a lot more interesting than constant guessing about who is and who is not human.

The show has a good premise, good cast and the beginnings of interesting themes, but instead of exploring those it just has us guessing what the #### is going on all the time.
Conversely, True Detective had all the mystery but the characters themselves were compelling and that's ultimately what kept me coming back week after week.
Compare this to Stranger Things, where there was a tonne of mystery but the show had 3 dimensional characters you cared about.
