I'm not an AI programmer and I have no real credential in game development to throw around, but I just want to point out some "facts":

1. The current AI we have is its first, barebone iteration.

2. Swen specifically said AI is going to be a big focus going forward during EA.

3. We have no fucking clue on just how capable the AI will be or how much resources & time Larian will dedicate to its development. Any "guesses" using complexity theories etc are conjectures at best, especially for an application in an extremely limited environment like strategic decisions in a turn-based video game.

So can we agree to at least wait for them to work on it a bit first before screaming "IT'S GOING TO BE SHIT"? Who knows. They said AI playing Go competitively is impossible. Well now they're all eating their words, aren't they? Not saying Larian is gonna build something that puts AlphaGo to shame, but can't we at least reserve our judgment until you know, when we actually have something to judge?
