I do, actually. I used to have an AI ID Zoner GB (which I acquired inRP from the Omicroners for a non-Gammusian AI). I deleted the ship because it was no longer viable under the new AI ID, which I was disappointed about. However, a suitable replacement for that specific branch of AI RP has yet to be implemented, mostly because it is regarded as a very niche interest. Furthermore, there is no desire to introduce more non-human races to Sirius than those that already exist - Gammusian AIs are already a poorly-explained faction, grandfathered into modern Disco from their original status as easter-egg content.

It was a thought experiment, not an insult.
My point is that I agree that there's currently no good/easy way to RP as a non-Gammusian AI. However, I have yet to see a good solution/alternative being proposed outside of trying to manipulate the current AI NPC ID. Perhaps a separate / entirely new ID might be enough here, but being a generic ID, it would not have most of the Gammusian ID's advantages (or disadvantages). However, this assumes that we want to set a precedent for formally allowing generic non-human characters into Sirius - which may or may not be a good idea.
