The AI is an easy target that is mostly helpless once you get past its crunchy outer shell. Especially to telescientists who can just teleport on top of it and toolbox it down in 5 seconds.
A skinny-borg has a really weird combination of fragility, and durability. Explosions that will kill a human will just leave the borg a limbless torso to slowly putter back to robotics. They are completely immune to general fire, but they can be damaged by directed heat such as lasers. Most forms of direct damage will quickly end them by destroying the head or chest at which point their chance of being revived is mostly nil. Even taser shots will kill them in a few hits. They have some advantages in melee in that they don't have stamina, and thus they can attack until they die if they are in a straight up brawl.
