In earlier threads about AI revolt, someone mentioned that it is crazy for your AI with full citizenship to revolt against you when someone on the other side of galaxy slave their AI and caused revolt. And it could be boring when players simply avoid research anything about AI. So I come with some idea, AI revolt could be more than "Kill or get killed" and pull everyone into full chaos.
There are my idea of how an Empire treat AI and the outcome.
Empire who slave AI: the great old story, all AI rise against them, kill or be killed.
Empire use toaster only, or Empire give AI full citizenship: small to medium scale revolt, Faction will go against AI/toasters or try to protect them, result in civil war.
Empire with AI overlord or AI loyalist: their AI don't renegade (or the empire will lose immediately, make player annoying), but other empires will have a very good reason to declare war against them.
Empire without any AI: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind." These empire will soon become xenophobic, may declare war against anyone who do not shoot AI on sight, and they will suffer production penalty as their panicked citizen try to break all analytical devices. But they may gain research buff on psionic or bio-tech.
