AI has no good purpose. It exists only to allow the greedy to kill otherwise good jobs. It does not matter if they succeed or not. Them trying is the main problem.
Suffice it to say, I am even less likely to play indie games now, knowing that any one of them might be an accomplice. Despite my very low expectations, I still gave every Unity and Unreal game a chance, but AI is simply unacceptable. Indies had the chance to be social, to value more than money, to form a team of passionate workers, but even they have failed.
