I hear what you're saying, but a "hate crime", as a legal definition, necessarily must be directed towards a person because of an innate trait.
Crimes against ethnicities, genders, orientations, or lifestyles all count.
Three examples:
I don't hate Koreans. A Korean spits in my face, so I punch them. Not a hate crime.
I hate Koreans. A Korean spits in my face, so I punch them. Not a hate crime.
I hate Koreans. I punch a Korean because they're Korean. Hate crime.
We’re still under the assumption that all of these definitions exist as outlined in the first reply, so going off that, you’re torturing the AI because it’s an AI. Sounds like a 1:1 match to me.
In the example the sadist is torturing the AI because it's convenient and safe, not because they hate the AI.
If they wanted to hurt real people too, but couldn't because they would get found, then it wouldn't be a hate-crime.
If I was torturing a Korean because a Korean was the only one who responded to my All-You-Can-Eat-Tteok-Bokki-In-My-Basement flier, then I would be torturing them because they're Korean, but it wouldn't be a hate-crime because I'm not doing it because I hate Koreans.
