I totally agree. The AI is asinine.
It is crazy to think they spend 5 freakin' years developing this and the AI cars might as well be a parade of wildly early braking slot cars.
Have you had the experience of an AI car spinning you then slowly pushing you sideways down the track? Not stopping, not turning, just slowing pushing you like you were a blade on it's racetrack snowplow. The AI seems to be almost completely unaware of any other cars.
Another thing you might notice as you restart a race over and over, the AI does the exact same thing each time, there seems to be no variability built in.
It also amazes me that although they put in a reasonably good experience points system they saw no need to actually dock some experience when you do something stupid. An Enthusia like system could have easily been added. Enthusia's system is not perfect, but it certainly will make you drive a lot nicer than the bumper car driving that GT encourages.
