Oh no. Games have been pulling this poo poo on people for YEARS already. Even back to the Atari 2600 and games like Adventure where you would be so close to getting the loving cup back to the yellow castle just to have that motherfucker of a bat come and trade the cup with you for a LIVE RED DRAGON. Yeah. Great trade.

Unreal Tournament is one of those games that did AI properly, and that game's almost four years old now. Even the Godlike bots are prone to "human error." You can load up a botmatch in Unreal Tournament with a bunch of Godlike bots and it'll feel just like playing against a bunch of good human players.
Another thing that UT did very well was to have adaptive difficulty level with the bots. The better you got, the better they got. Didn't take long for the game to even out and still be a decent challenge. I am somewhat surprised that more games did not use the adaptive modle for single player games.

And FWIW, even on the F-Zero for SNES, there was some impossible poo poo in that game that only became possible once you learned "the trick". Learning "the trick" was sometimes painfully difficult. Executing the trick evey lap was often worse.
