Well thats kind of the point of my statement about "it's 2024"

I understand game AI is a complex problem. But it seems like we havent made any progress since civ3.... And we're right in the middle of an AI hype cycle... Can we not use AI for something useful like games? Instead of just making deepfakes, disinformation, and firing workers?

I'm pretty sure you could train an AI to play a game like Civ, but the problem stays the same. As everything progresses to get more complicated and you have to decide even more every turn it gets harder and harder to train. The results are kind of unpredictable and you might have to train your AI again with every patch. It will limit the systems your game can run on (even excluding some platforms) and heavily impact performance on the systems it can run on.
