Alphastar / Deepmind

Is it possible to create an AI that can challenge a human in a game like starcraft in a 'fair' manner? Its not, is it?

An AI like Alphastar will always be a micro beast, capable of super human multitasking ability and reaction speed. Sure you can limit its performance somewhat in terms of APM, but its raw multitasking ability will make whatever strategy it implements that much more smooth - micro wise.

I am starting to think its pointless to create an AI to play a human in a game which requires reaction speed / multitasking ability as it will never be fair. When letting an AI play a game like starcraft with a completely unlocked APM, it becomes an absolute micro God. As if God himself was controlling the units of the enemy army, showing exactly why an AI will always play this way.

Therefore AI beating a human in a game like Go will always be more impressive. Right?
