Default Re: Wanted: Cheating AI

"I was referring the AI that uses that cheating extensively in order to cover up bad design behind it".

The best way of putting it might be to say that "cheating AI" is often used to mask the fact that a legitimate non-cheating solution to the problem was not known by the programmer. This leaves open a wide variety of explanations, some of them being that they are "lazy" or "bad designers," but many of them being simply that the problem was really, really hard -- or that there weren't enough programmers on the team -- or that there just wasn't enough of a budget -- or that some marketing guy redirected the programmers from AI to eye candy.
