Would it be immoral to erase an innocent AGI?

Not necessarily. There are two particular hormones which can be hypothetically related to human masturbatory habits and poor behavioral tendencies. One being oxytocin and another being vasopressin.

Vasopressin in voles has been shown to either create pair-bonding, or in it's absence from the equation disrupt it. It is produced during sexual activity, presumably during masturbation. This in hand with the fact that it can also trigger the secretion of cortisol could hypothetically trigger a series of slight but chronic hormonal imbalances.

Oxytocin is a hormone which is linked with bonding in mammals. It also plays a role in bonding mechanics. Certain doses of oxytocin cause either anxiolytic effects or sedation. I posit, that without a second person present in sexual acts that it causes a degree of stress or imperceptible confusion; perhaps causing a chronic masturbator to become a fanatical porn viewer or in certain methods of consumption to become a sexual hedonist without an adequate outlet.

Unfortunately studies in direct human interaction with either are fairly limited so any argument The research that is present I don't have access to, so if a university student does, perhaps you could continue looking into this and connecting the dots if there are any.
