I know what you mean, the game force you to accept the fact that there is no other way, telling you that these people are not alive. Yet for the all last part of the story you interact with them and treat them as they were alive, this entire part is so ambiguous that you can consider it either just an AI wipe, as well as a genocide, and we all doing this without even think about it too much. After all Cahciua told us there is no other way, so that's fine, right? But then, even her could be just an AI , or was she still alive? Who knows, in doubt we wipe all of them anyway.
