For instance ChatGPT forgot to do the Manual Compilation of Wine on Ubuntu Linux.

Are you using any mods? HOTA or others may have changed that. I don't recall the ai ever doing that in vanilla.

I'm with BlueMooner on this one.

Been playing from 2001 to 2023 religiously. At some point, it was the only game I was playing daily for a whole year.

I'm certain it was in vanilla game. But now that you've mentioned it, I'm curious if they eliminated it in HotA or other mods. I played a bit in HotA but can't remember if I still saw this AI cheat or not.

To make it's own Artificial Intelligence is it really neccessary to pay 5$ to OpenAI website?

(: Guilty! :)

I did understand my mistake as soon as I read the first sentence, though, and I was not successful in thinking of a better term. Your meaning had a substantive much before the current craze--which is not artificial intelligence, anyway. (It's an Expert System in linguistical interlocution. It has no apperception.)

Age of Wonders!

And quantum is imminent….

There was a top-down arcade game, Ten-Yard Fight. Same thing only with twenty-cent coins engurgitated. And Rally-X, too, the little car with an oil slick defence, reducing precious fuel. By the third level the opposing cars were so fast you could not outrun them and soon after the level was impossible to clear with the ludicrous rate of fuel consumption.
But all video games did that. Donkey Kong, and Frogger, but Asteroids may be different because it cycled through a moment or two of calm between phases but was also impossible at times.
Never played the first one but Civilizations were infamous for it: the Stacks of Doom not removed until the fourth game.
In Rome: Total War (not available on Gog) I had an opposing general doing a burnout tight wheel with his chariot that is almost completely impossible to do with a mouse. Without stop-motion precision on the flow of gametime to manually re-point the chariot in an arc of polygonal approximation: a geometric envelope of tangents, each of a family of curves that are concentric with the circumference of a circle. And the game specifically prevents a player from stopping the game in rapid succession to restarting it.

I thought the removal of unit stacking didn't happen until the *fifth* game.

I did play three and four and three had it (and much worse than the second game, too: barbarian stack of thirty-five units, IIRC, came and wiped out my city) and four didn't.

I've never felt more cheated than when playing Racing and Fighting games.

They're probably the worst offenders of all time when it comes to bad programmed AI when they can literally read your inputs and at the same time react to it in a pre programmed way or give the computer opponents +X% speed when they're too far from you on a race or -X% when you're too far from them.

We can list many, but I will only list the worst offender in my experience:

Street Fighter IV - Has simply the worst AI ever created in a fighting game. The game was developed purely for Arcades and to be played competitively on tournaments. Its already a hard fighting game on its own in multiplayer because combos require 1 frame player input, but the devs had to be lazy or purposefully evil to make the AI constantly read player input in order to apply 1 frame react windows impossible to counter.

The bad thing is that single player experience is terrible. The "good" thing is that, because you know AI is reading your inputs 100% of the time, you can trick the opponent to do specific movements to beat them "easily" - something that is required if you want to finish the 'arcade mode' on higher difficulties. A good fighting game with the worst AI in a fighting game ever created.
Very fun and challenging with friends, though, as the competitive scene of the game back then was huge. Gladly Capcom learned from their mistakes with this game and made Street Fighter 6 with a much better AI, apparently.
