Costly AI Mistakes Rockstar Did in Previous GTA Games

''Aimbot" Police Accuracy : Police AI in many GTA titles, particularly GTA V, would often exhibit unrealistic pinpoint accuracy, even at long distances. This made even minor infractions escalate into frustrating, unavoidable firefights, feeling unfair rather than challenging

Brain-Dead Pedestrians : NPCs frequently display erratic and illogical behavior, walking into active gunfights, ignoring traffic, or getting stuck in environmental objects. This breaks immersion, making the vibrant city feel less alive and more like a playground for AI blunders

Clueless Teammates in Heists : In GTA Online heists, AI teammates often exhibit poor decision-making, failing to take cover, driving recklessly, or getting easily killed. This forced players to rely heavily on human teammates, as AI partners could easily ruin missions

Predictable Enemy AI : Enemies often follow highly predictable patterns, making combat less dynamic and more repetitive. Once a player understands these patterns, engagements can become trivial, reducing the thrill of encounters

Unresponsive Traffic AI : Vehicle AI can be notoriously frustrating, with cars frequently swerving into the player's path, blocking roads unnecessarily, or reacting poorly to chaotic situations. This often leads to accidental collisions and unwanted police attention

Lack of AI Memory/Consequence : NPCs generally don't "remember" past player actions, meaning a character you just robbed might greet you normally moments later. This limits the sense of a persistent, reactive world and reduces the impact of player choices

Poor Voice Moderation (GTA Online) : Rockstar's AI-based voice moderation in GTA Online has sometimes been criticized for being overly sensitive or misinterpreting speech, leading to unwarranted mutes or bans for players, impacting the social aspect of the game
