Honestly, I feel it should default to the "Unwanted" column the same way all traitor roles default to disabled.Forget what is already in place. Prentend that radios are a new thing. Would you really assign :s to the AI chat? People use the words AI, Cyborg and borg FAR more. Synthetic makes no sense to use when you could use :a and :b. What's even more odd is how security gets :g. if you heard someone shout "guards!" on the radio you'd be confused.... Give security chat :s and AI chat :a.
There's also an especially large cost to changing the meaning of :s, because AIs and borgs have more reason to use their chat and more need to keep their chat secret than sec does. Not everyone reads the changelogs or the start-of-round popup text, and borgs don't have headsets to examine, so changing the silicon channel will inevitably lead to a lot of law violations.
