If you don't want AI, then say you don't want AI,

I don't want AI.

Most of the fun and complexity and pleasure of BM comes from fighting human opponents. People who are not easily calculated (and humans are crazy good at spotting the patterns in even the best AI) and who can be talked to and reasoned with and threatened and all that.

We tried an AI invasion once, and it was probably the least memorable.

That is why I think the effort required isn't worth it, because BM is not and should not be a PvE game, so an AI should always have a minor role.
