You know, while multiple AI's is currently mainly reserved for admin gimmicks, I think it could be great if it's something that could occur normally.
Like, there being a random chance for a dual AI system at the round start or something. Part of what makes AI so off putting to people is part of the extreme multi-management that sometimes occurs, often requiring a self awareness that is at the levels that, well, what a computer is expected to do. Having two people would make playing AI much more bearable for people. It'd also be pretty nice to ease people who are too terrified of playing the AI into playing AI. After all, personal, in-game mentors are often infinitely more effective than mentorhelp can be.
Not to mention, witnessing two AI's with vastly different personalities interact or conflict could be interesting.
I'd probably try playing AI more if it could be set up like that.
