i think it'd be cool if the AI had some buttons in the commands tab to quickly issue stock phrases to let people know that, yeah, you're still there and you're paying attention, but you can't help them because of xyz. So if you're tracking the changeling and some horrible staff assistant who has been pestering you all around screams "AI LET ME INTO BRIDGE AI LET ME INTO BRIDGE AI LET ME INTO BRIDGE" instead of having to pause to type "shut the fuck up you worthless grayshirt scum if I had arms and no laws I would strangle you to death so I never have to hear your shrill whining again (etc.)" you can press the button that makes you say some variation of "Request Denied" or "All circuits are currently busy."
I mean marq is 100% right that being able to distract the AI is important but when there's 60 people on each demanding your attention and threatening to kill you because you're helping out someone with a legit problem, well.. it can be a bit much
the categories for stock phrases are (I think)
Yes - "Affirmative", "Request Granted", "Complying", "Working ..." (etc.)
No - "Negative", "Request Denied", "Unable to Comply" (etc.)
Busy - "All circuits are currently busy.", "I am occupied with another task." (etc.)
and maybe the super advanced version is the AI can modify their stock phrases to better suit their personality/gimmick for the round, so when you're a hair's breadth away from snapping you can ditch the politeness and just have a button to say "I hate you meatbag, also, request denied"
