There is no way an AI will be capable to destroy online poker gaming. I mean, the game is played between two to ten players, each of them have different combination of cards, there is no way an AI can build a strategy out of thin air because there are a lot of combinations that its opponents may have in hand.
Imagine, an AI can beat a person in chess game because it knows opponent's pieces and knows where they are located. Because of that, an AI is capable to mathematically calculate every possible way and always act according to the best one but Poker is a guess what your opponent has game. If I have good cards on hand, absolutely no one and nothing will be able to beat me.
An AI robot may have an advantage in real-life poker matches if it's advanced and capable to understand the emotions of its' opponents as they change facial expression.
I don't agree with you, because it would mean that good poker players are just lucky, but I don't think it's true because good players know the odds consciously or not, they are able to assess how other players are likely to have better hands than them from the cards dealt on the table and in their hands, and then how they are likely to win or to lose. In addition they are able to guess how other players play when they have good hand or bad hand from what they've seen in the previous round.
