I remember it being fuzzy where AM came from. From the dyson sphere, but I'm not sure if it was full of humans or super-humans or AIs or post-human AIs or what. I assumed AM was originally a specific human and all their identical clones were of that original body, so people who gender them, use the gender of their bodies. But I'm not sure if there's any support in the book for that.

Good observation about the pronouns not applying to ships, I'd not thought about that at all. In a lot of sci-fi, there's an additional reason people may use "it" for AIs, if they're nongendered, but that doesn't apply in the Radch. I guess, they don't treat ships as people, but they do treat AM as a person.
