I’m confused what you mean by scanning. If you mean “scan and preserve the information in a databank” then it’s a (perhaps very weak, depending of how much information relevant to us is actually retained) form of freezing I’ve been referring to (not necessarily literal freezing). If you mean “scan and compute some statistics, then discard the information”, it is killing.
I was thinking about the former type, which is indeed more like freezing. However, it is unlikely that an unFriendly AI would ever re-implement humanity (especially if it mostly cares about entropy), so it’s practically akin to killing.
