Can User Test Mode be set to only affect human player(s)?

So, I saw that there is a "User Test Mode" enabled by modifying the usertestmode text file. IMO, this is great for my playstyle considering I don't have a huge amount of time to learn and play the game.
I was puttering along in my game with this. Having taken research off my plate, I still had to build up resources/industry and research models, and I found this just fine.
Then I noted that the AI Majors also benefitted from test mode as well, and had eaten up a lot of the planet already before I could really get my industry off the ground.
I know the mode isn't necessarily designed for how I want to play the game, but would it be possible at all to adjust the user test mode to only affect the human player, and not the AI Majors?
Edit: If the underlying code wouldn't facilitate it, maybe it could just add a special stratagem card with an "AI will use" chance of zero, that gives all the bonuses(tech, points, etc.) the mode normally would.
