This is not as big of a deal you you think it is. Starcraft 2 custom AIs already exist and have existed for a long time.

And they are really bad.

They are bad mostly because they try to not be obvious so that Blizzard would ban them. High APM, precision clicks without camera move or unnatural multitasking gets you reported and banned fast these days. Could be because of other things but there seems to be a lot less cheating recently.
