The closest a human can arrive to AI drumming levels is Tomas Haake of Meshuggah. [Reference](https://youtu.be/bAJ1WTGNISk).

George Kollias has always been my go-to extreme drummer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqzZmNqdWck]

But watching "Jazz drummer reacts" video for "Bleed" made my head spin. The speed, precision, complexity of those rhythms - I cannot comprehend what it is like inside his mind while he's playing. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpooH-TGtBg]

"Clockworks" is another one that makes me question my sanity.

For the people that don't see anything special here apart from the feet going kinda fast. This band is known from playing wild time signatures. Like playing riffs in 11/8 and throwing in 3/8 every couple of bars.

The drummer essentially plays two rhythms at once. His hands mostly do 4/4, but feet play a shorter phrase that only lines up with hands every couple of bars. It's like simultaneously counting to four on one hand and to three on the other hand, but using four limbs on a full drum kit, adding accents, ghost notes, changing time signates, and not skipping a freaking beat.

And their every song is like this. I also think on "Combustion" he plays 1/16 note off from the rest of the band.

I find this video (series) helps break down Bleed pretty nicely:

I am not sure what you mean with AI level drumming, but what about Tool’s Danny Carey though? I am not a drummer, but to me this is super impressive.
