While I don't disagree with the reasons, the implementation would be a big problem. Simply purchasing/building a new AI wouldn't be enough, you would also need a player to operate it. This isn't like ghosts randomly becoming blobs, either; it brings a regular player into an AI's environment, possibly even against his will and shoves all its responsibilities onto him, and if said player is a ghost he can now speak all his metagamey knowledge freely. I can't see this being used to any good end, and I don't mean in a chaotic-fun sense.
Really, the only reason my gimmick round worked was because I was lucky enough to have intentional late-joiners that happened to see the job listing. Multiple AIs at round-start is something I can see happening, but bringing in AIs mid-round might be a bit too much and should perhaps be limited to admin intervention.
