The difference is that servers are cogs in a machine. It's often desirable to treat them as fungible and interchangeable, and there are no ethical problems with doing so.

What if the server has AI and a name?

Current AI are cattle, it doesn't matter if you shut it down or put it up on 100 different servers, it behaves the same.

When it starts to have memory, develops a personality and identity - I can see some people might care for certain instances of AI as pets. Like that Japanese guy who married a robot (or was it a hologram), then the company deprecated the software and it stopped working (or disappeared).

The fact that humans can develop emotional bonds with machines and objects is strange and fascinating.
