A low bonus makes the AI much better, but it's still not up to the challenge of a human. Even on high bonus, it's just wealthy and stupid, instead of truly dangerous. The bonus mostly changes whether you get attacked by a few badly designed ships with incompetent captians, or a lot of badly designed ships with incompetent captains.
