I see your point very well. Something like this is really more for
the developer than the player. "My AI does really-cool-thing X."
I try to ask myself, "Does it add something for the player?" If the
answer is no, or not really, then I think you have to re-examine the
application.
I think AI henchmen are a really cool idea, but I find that players
end up using them to substitute for "making friends with other human
players", which can be harder than having a "pretend friend" along
who simply follows orders and doesn't judge your ability to
role-play/fight/play-the-game.
