    A ton of conversations about the game must be in the training set. I wonder, is there any way just from watching how they play, of telling if they tend to pick strategies that people complain or meme about online?

      At high levels of play Zerg is generally considered significantly stronger than the other races. So I generally will assume AI will tend to pick Zerg

        I only played the StarCraft demo two decades ago. Why is that so? Rushing?

          Production speed scaling due to hatches.

          If you want 6 carriers at the same time, build 6 starports.

          If you want 6 ultralisks or 6 mutas at the same time, build 2 hatches (which you already have)

          One consequence of this is that changing army composition as Z is very easy.
