I think this is a great step towards Agent Smith. Normal game AI is just scripted and predictable (boring). If this makes it harder to tell a person from a bot, then bring it on. I would love to see Half Life 2 with 32 internet players, and another 32 learning bots in the mix. I wonder how long before the bots consistency beat the real people!
