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.
