To the AI, there is nothing aggressive about the "laser gun"; as far as it was aware, the "laser gun" could be any tool. It was just doing what it had determined may help it achieve a better score.
The "laser gun" knocks the other player out of the race.
It's not the name that makes me consider it aggressive, rather the fact that it works by harming the other player.
It's probably true the AI doesn't distinguish "aggressive" tools from other tools. Isn't that one of lessons here? If an AI isn't taught not to be aggressive, it will choose to harm other participants when that's the most effective strategy.
