It depends on how you want to be regarded. The AI laws are simple. I don't really want admins telling people off for doing unpopular (yet legal) things as AI; the crew does that well enough. Since the AI has it's byond ID exposed at the end of a round we typically have a good mental list of who is a shit AI and who isn't. This will affect how the AI is treated round-to-round unless it rolls a random name every time. This kind of meta is just what happens on games with static names.
That being said, my own rules (those I bind myself to, not others) are case-by-case.
Traitors: Items spawns, never. Item usage depends on the item. Loud rampagers get called on first or second kill, because that's generally what they want. Silent rampagers get called when found.
Inhumans: On consumption of crew or overt usage of powers; 10 minute grace.
Blob: Depends on crew size and state of the station.
Wraith: 'Wow this station sure is spooky'
Gimmick: Depends on gimmick. Just attempting one generally gets me to avoid saying anything unless asked.
A big plus to what Frank said. Vagueness is a wonderful tool. One of the best the fun-AI has.
