Some of us aren't overly competitive in nature, I know I've grown up throughout my life not always wanting to compete against another human, it's why I'm not interested in sports for that matter. For the most part I've grown up playing co-op games with few times where I have fought directly against friends. THe times I have played against humans was during last gen on the 360 when it came to games like cod, but also since then I've played a lot with different forms of AI from different games and found myself feeling nothing towards fighting an AI, no sort of emotions or memories of that particular AI like I would when facing another human that I'd easily store in memory the enxt time I saw them.
AI as far as things go doesn't slag you off, doesn't go for the always easy win strats, most humans do what they can to win, even at times if it means taking the super easy routes or taking advantage of something others do not know much of, that to me isn't all that enticing when playing against another human because for the most part the same tactics end up repeating themselevs over and over, yes the same can happen with an AI but that AI isn't driven the way we humans are, they are merely programmed to do what they can and for that I cannot fault them for what they do, with a human you can ebcause you're expected to learn or at elast not repeat the same few tactics or easy rodads over and over and eyt that happens on a constant basis and frankly it puts me off wanting to go against another human, which is largely why I play co-op games or with humans and AI against other AI and sometimes humans in a non overkly competitive ranking form.
At the end of the day there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to play with or against AI. I imagine this will be no different once AI takes a more advanced form, where it can interact with you on a higher level of intellect. Of course there are going to be those people that look down on AI or fear it, despite that they shouldn't need to as they can just compete with other human beings.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
