I think what we're actually going to see is something like assistant drones that go with the pilot. So using the f35 as a command&control system to give orders to the ai drones. And/or just have them backthem up in combat anyway.

The issue with AI is that combat can change so quickly. It's hard to make the right calls.

Let the AI handle Air to Air defense while the human pilots take out what targets they can read by their discretion etc.

This is explicitly part of the plan for the f35. It also frees up the drones from having to carry sensor equipment, and lets all of the drones benefit from a single sensor suite too heavy for the drones themselves to carry.
