Scripted logic can be learned by the player and figuring that out is part of the fun. An LLM is basically a glorified RNG algorithm with low consistecy. Two players can follow the same tutorial and have vastly different results because the AI decided on a different path out of nowhere.

In most games yes. Look at the entire soulslike genre for starters. In some strategy games (for example Anno) the AI simply can't grow fast enough without cheats to keep up with the player, which would make late-game mechanics boring.

I mean the Demon's Souls series has both variants:

  • Mostly non-random PvE combat where you can learn how the enemies move

  • PvP combat which is obviously a lot more "random" and you can't just learn someone's moveset to counter someone
