Please stop being jerks to the AI

[Xaviens]

This post is inspired by my recently fucking terrible AI round and a couple other rounds I have seen recently of people being total jerks to the AI. This has mainly been with shitty laws and shitty crew. Mostly this is just doing shit just to annoy the AI and piss them off, being AI is soul crushing enough as it is so please stop trying to ruin their fun. Also, gimmick laws. Gimmick laws are fine as long as you know it will be fun for the crew AND the AI (like recently when an AI had a god damn law to speak in morse code ). If you have a gimmick law, please PDA it to the AI and ask their opinion, if they do not like it please don't upload it.
In all the AI is a soul destroying job, please stop being jerks and work with the AI to let everyone have some fun.

As the AI who had that morse code law, holy shit please do not. Half the round people were yelling at me to stop using morse code, or screaming for someone to reset the AI because it was clearly rogue. Sometimes the laws are even worse, like speaking in binary, or only speaking in rhyme, or riddles, or just stuff that generally ruins any ability to respond to a request, let alone state laws.

It's actually gotten to the point that I won't play as AI or borg anymore because people just continually shit on the AI, no matter what it does. For example,  I intentionally played a round where I never spoke unless spoken to, and only acted when ordered to do something. I still got yelled at and called rogue at least twice.

'you're treating the borgs as if they were anything but disposable' - actual quote from a rude man for killing every borg but the one he actually had a beef with

This attitude is exactly what's wrong. Cyborgs, as SS13 looks at them, are a HUMAN BRAIN in a robot body. There's no reason they shouldn't be given all the same rights as humans. They're effectively enslaved humans, handicapped on top of that, in that they can't use their hands as actual hands, and treated like crap. The AI is at least a purely synthetic organism, but why do cyborgs even HAVE laws? I've never understood that. Clones don't have laws, and they're much cheaper to make, and don't have any of the restrictions on interactions.

Unrelated but interesting: Cyborgs can't open doors by bumping into them if the AI control wire is cut. You can effectively imprison a borg with a single wire.
