For me personally, this is less exciting because AI jet pilots have a natural advantage.

Human pilots are limited in maneuvering by the amount of force their body can take. Computer pilots are limited by the amount of force the airframe can take. The later allows much more aggressive and radical maneuvers.

That means, compared to playing Go, the robot pilot can be comparatively much worse than the human and still win decisively by taking advantage of high g maneuvers.

The test were done in a simulation. Also, if you want to run high-G maneuvers, you can always control a drone from the ground.
