Judging AI in purely normative categories will get you nothing but subjectivism and a very good chance of inducing weird feelings in developers, should they read the results of these polls.
Additionally, I believe that "fun" and "quality of AI" are not necessarily causally interdependent, and hence I refrain from voting. Temporary conclusion of the foregoing.
Excellent points but I think the vocabulary exceeds the purpose.

It would seem so far that the poll is simply whether or not people like the AI. The only problem I see is if someone tries to jump the gun and say that everyone not liking the poll automatically means that they all thought it was broke. Or that they feel it should be fixed. Or worse yet that they automatically feel it should already have been fixed and should be a priority right now.
