I think it's great training for mechanics.

If you know what the AI is doing, then you don't have to focus so much on scouting, but rather keeping your injects timed properly and keeping your income low. These things are the absolute fundamentals, and learning them should be prioritised over a build order or memorising timings.

tbh practicing stuff like drilling out a new build against the AI is incredibly useful, i've actually done this a TON of times when coming up with new stuff.

edit: by this i mean a computer on very easy so he doesnt attack you, getting cheesed by the very hard AI probably doesnt hold any merit for anyone diamond and above as you can find humans to do stronger cheeses against you instead.

only play against computers for build orders and refine mechanics but always better to practice with someone if possible
