AI will win if not now, then soon. The reason is that even if it is worse than a human, the AI can pull off maneuvers that would black out a human.
Jets are far more powerful than humans are capable of controlling. Flight suits and training can only do so much to keep the pilot from blacking out.
Plus the ai has no risk, outside of basic operation.
Humans have an inherent survival instinct to which drones can just say "lol send the next one I'm dying cya"
Jets are a lot more expensive. What's at risk is all these resources for the jet going down the drain.
Jets are in many ways expensive because they can't be expendible. They also make an bunch of compromises to accommodate keeping a human alive.
For the cost of a single f22, you could put up 60 Valkyries. I think I know which side I would bet on.
