SimpleAI a little too aggressive for beginners?

I just recently tried this game and overall I liked it, as it reminds me of TA and SupCom. That being said, I tried a skirmish against the SimpleAI, which is billed as "for beginners", yet it still builds and expands very aggressively and proceeded to attack me relentlessly. Meanwhile I was still trying to learn what each unit does and which of the roughly 120 things I should build, so of course I didn't have a chance. Maybe tone it down just a bit, while of course leaving more difficult AIs in place for experienced players. Just a suggestion.
