I just wish GPG had put a more challenging AI into the demo. This one is probably turning some hardcore gamers off.

The beta was a lot better and I can say for certain the AI is too. The AI on horde mode will completely destroy you, it knows how to harass, retreat, and perform surgical strikes. The AI in the demo is just the hard balanced AI. One which doesn't really attack, nor defend. The final game's AI would be much better. The demo was a completely bad release of the final game.

The final game’s AI would be much better.

It makes sense to handicap the number of units and the available maps, because people will understand that demos don't include all of this kind of stuff that the full game does. But it was not a wise decision to leave out the best AIs, as lots of people are going to totally trounce the AI in the demo and then not end up buying the game because they think it won't be fun, when really it's just that the demo didn't offer an accurate picture of what the real gameplay is actually like.

There are several additional 'hard' AI's that will be included in the final game. Also, if you let the hard AI that is included in the demo build up a bit before killing it, it can actually offer quite a challenge. This leads me to think that it may very well be quite competitive on the much larger maps. (The demo map is only 10x10, but the largest maps are 80x80). Also, the AIs are apparently entirely scripted in LUA, so expect to see some very good AI mods in the not-too-distant future.
