AI is a tool, like any other. Imagine you invented a new machine gun that fires faster and has less recoil but james more often. Who will be able to put the new machine gun to better use -- new recruits or veteran soldiers? C'mon.
That might be a trick question I think. As a veteran I would drop one enemy, take their AK-47 and drop my M-16 and start collecting ammo for my nifty old but reliable AK-47 that does not jam when it gets a little dirty.
