bloody impossible to play, had a scroll ball controller in the arcade, never lasted more than about 10 seconds

Looks like marble madness..

Why ask the AI to deliver code when you can ask the AI to simply perform the task. In fact for most tasks I can think of if a human computer interface were needed that human role would be a candidate for assimilation and replacement by an AI. AI is the ultimate software as a service or 'service as a service'.
