OK, yes, I wasn't quite sure how to put it into words, but what you said was exactly why I would call that reductive. If you only focus on the dangers of humanizing AI parts of the story you'd be completely ignoring the other half - that being the continued dehumanization of Amaya. To the executives she's just a means to an end to produce a marketable product. The praise is constantly being put on her creation, not as much on the creator. Her coworkers treat her poorly, but in the end it's hard to tell if they treat her this way because she herself is cold towards them, or the other way around. There's a lot of circles within circles in the story and I think that's part of the reason why I found it so compelling.
In any case, still really great work and I'd be excited to see anything else that you come up with in the future!
