It will not get to strategy in these games at all. I can already see the AI dominating any human player just by splitting army. Imagine a terran AI dropping at 4+ places at the same time, just 4-5 marines each. This can be done within the first 6-7 minutes and no human player will be able to hold. I know they limit the APM for AI but you can easily do such drop with very few APM if you simply react fast enough on damage events.
There is a lot scope for mimicking a human player in terms of how long it takes to react and how the APM is actually used. I think the more effort they put into the AI restrictions, the more interesting AI you will end up with.
Having an AI that wins because it is faster isn't very interesting.
They are bad mostly because they try to not be obvious so that Blizzard would ban them. High APM, precision clicks without camera move or unnatural multitasking gets you reported and banned fast these days. Could be because of other things but there seems to be a lot less cheating recently.
