Similar to my other post, complaints about "AI cheating" usually is a
side effect of incongruence between the difficulty options or
progression of a game, and the players expectations for "optimal
difficulty".

It is difficult for a single player game to "adapt" its difficulty
level to the playing habits and style of the current player, because
that would typically involve the use of true AI (which most games do
not).

What most gamers call AI is, simply enough, the "difficulty" of the
game.

If AI is ever properly utilized in computer-controlled player
behavior, it is possible that a game can learn to optimize it's
difficulty so that it provides each player just the right level of
challenge to remain entertaining as long as the player wants to
continue playing.
