"The AI is not playing. Restart it."

I just got a message at the top of the game screen that said "The AI is not playing. Restart it." Clicking on this message simply made it disappear with no apparent effect.
Does this mean somebody's working on implementing an AI for some games?!

There already is room for "zombie" hooks in the base game flow. For instance, if a player in 6 Nimmt! has been expelled, the game continues with them as a Zombie, where it plays randomly from their hand. The intro documentation for becoming a BGA creator has a good description of the process.
I think the basic game flow code got updated to make the AI/Zombie hook more visible, possibly for testing for bugged implementations and make it easier to play without reporting a bug and then waiting for a resolution.
Always happy to see progress behind the scenes.
