Just to be clear, I suggested spiderdude make this complaint since I wanted more opinions on what happened. They seemed kinda hesitant to do so but I feel like this was the best way to resolve things, as otherwise we'd be stuck in a "I think this was bad," "no, I think this was fine," loop that would accomplish nothing.
Regarding the complaint itself:
I would argue that, technically, AIs count as a living thing by in-game standards. Their mob's path is /mob/living/silicon/ai. They have a brain (covered in funky wires, but definitely a brain) and are sentient things. If you pull out their neural net you can shove any dude's brain in its place and it just works immediately. When killed (or destroyed, or however you wanna put it) they have ghosts. I respect that you want to get out of suicide laws, I know they suck (I used to play AI very often), but I think the wording here was clear and applied to you.
I definitely appreciate other admins giving me their thoughts on this, though. (Thank you to Gannets for already doing so)
