But in other communities at least some people will point out the obvious (and really only correct) answer: "you should play against other humans."
The fact that the people complaining hardly ever take this advice is irrelevant, to my way of thinking. A well-designed, complex simulation of some real world activity does not require an AI. People try to create an AI for only one reason: to make the simulation commercially viable. There is no reason to think that a small (and over-worked) team of programmers, who are able to design an excellent simulation, will also design an AI that won't make dumb decisions. AFAIK, no one has done that in any commercial computer sim.
Solving the problem of AI design is not influenced by collecting votes in a forum thread. People who think otherwise are just deluding themselves.
