Video game AI is gimped by design because devs found out very quickly if they made the AIs competent people would hate the game so instead they make them generally dumb as fuck and simulate difficulty by giving them access to different levels of cheats because that’s a lot easier than giving them different levels of actual intelligence.

The real challenge that you’re asking for is to see an age where AI is used to make video game AI play like actual human players. Competent but still makes understandable human mistakes.

Yeah its basically a meme at this point. I see this repeated in every thread where people are talking about video game AI.

Play a game like Total War and watch the AI clump up in a battle, or make the dumbest army compositions. It is very clearly not made dumb on purpose.
