The AI's plan of action sounds like a very poor application of fun theory. Being able to easily solve all of one's problems and immediately attain anything upon desiring it doesn't seem conducive to a great deal of happiness.

It reminds me of the time I activated the debug mode in Baldur's Gate 2 in order to give my party a certain item listed in a guide to the game, which turned out to be a joke and did not really exist. However, once I was in the debug mode, I couldn't resist the temptation to apply other cheats, and I quickly spoiled the game for myself by removing all the challenge, and as a result, have never finished the game to this day.
