Wouldn’t the equivalent be more like burning a body of a dead person?
It’s not like the AI would have a continuous stream of consciousness, and it’s more that you are destroying the information necessary to run them. It seems to me that shutting off an AI is more similar to killing them.
Seems like the death analogy here is a bit spotty. I could see it going either way as a best fit.

More like burning the body of a cryonically preserved “dead” person though right?
