However, delay also doesn't mean a better product. It's possible for a game to be delayed a ton, and then still really suck.

Delay doesn't equal good. DN: Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines made that clear.

Didn't colonial marine turn out to actually have really good AI that totally changed the game feel that had been broken by a single misplaced semi-colon or something?

https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/15/17574248/aliens-colonial-marines-fixing-code-typo-ai-xenomorphs yep, a code typo broke the alien AI. Unfortunately for that game though no amount of delays could've helped it, there were many more problems besides the AI. The AI was just the biggest problem.
