For the sake of Raahul's good reputation, let me alter your painting to
include me.

I already have a client side AI program which, although not nearly far
enough along to play a strong game on its own, is certainly capable of
giving me the benefit of the ai cheats. However, I do not consider this
fact a valid argument against client side AI, but rather an argument for
designing an AI client which plays a strong enough game that it does not
need to cheat.
