Make their subroutine cores spread out in multiple (well guarded) locations in the station. If the AI wants to be a jackass and play stuncraft with a million Beeplings, it'd better protect that core *and* itself. Also lets the crew cripple a bastard AI without immediately skipping to TTVing the TV guy.
Keep in mind that only one person plays the AI much of the time, and there's only so many plates that one person can keep spinning. The AI's main difficulty in doing impressive things should be in keeping these plates of the ground. You're more than welcome to focus on being a chatty doorbell and keep those plates to a minimum, but whatever beyond that should require a level of cold, methodical multitasking that better fits the role of AI.
This job should be stressful and soul crushing, but powerful in the right hands (both it's and the subverter's). You *are* the station, after all.
