I personally hope these types of AI's make it into future games as bots to play against in single-player, and also as an agent to run some of the background stuff while you're focusing on other things. For example, in Starcraft, when you A-move a large part of your army across the map, an AlphaStar-like AI could decide which units to prioritize it to attack once it reaches a group of enemy units, or what formation to move in (automatically keeping colossus in back, observer ahead, balls of marines split apart into smaller clumps), or when your Terran army encounters a significant force along the way, the tanks in back could auto-siege / auto-unsiege.
