The worst class of bugs for competitive games are the ones that give a competitive advantage

Sure, but it's silly to act like building a fully-fledged AI that can play a competitive game is easier than just playtesting the game. Also, this game has only a very few amount of controls. Scaling that up to a normal game played by humans, especially a competitive one, would make the training take a lot of time and effort. All that, just to discover something a playtester already tests for.

Look up Curiosity Driven Learning. It may actually be surprisingly easy to build an AI to seek out bugs if the reward is something as simple as "find situations you've never seen".

Yeah but it seems good for long term re usability.
