In real life, computers aim better than humans do. In real life, that makes people want the AI, in a game, when the robot is faster they don't buy the game.
I predict the US military will drive AI research over the next 10 years because AIs can shoot better and faster. After the AIs mature on the battlefield they'll start being more useful to industry (replacing bus drivers, etc.)
In 15-30 years, AIs will be a big market, a huge one. Of course, people said that 30 years ago and it seemed reasonable then....
