I vote this thread for dumbest spelling of 'dumbest', does that count? No?
Dead Rising's "survivors" it is then.

If my co-workers were as stupid as the AI in MOH:Airborne, I'd be the CNO of the Navy right now...

oblivion had really dumb friendly AI.
The most annoying thing about Oblivion's friendly AI is the tendency of friendly characters to run helpfully into combat, straight in front of your sword, and then getting all pissed like it was your fault.

The Horde in Left 4 Dead.

They just stand there. When they see you, they run.

That's it.

BTW it's "Dumbest" not "Dumdest"

The traffic drivers in Burnout Paradise. They deliberately go out of their way for you to crash into them. God I miss Burnout 3.

Mercenaries 2, if i have a tank and you have an AK47, you dont go up to try melee the bloody tank, you dont run in front of my moving tank (i can honestly say that i did not try to run them over) and you dont throw grenades at me, i am on your side!
I also hate how they eventually turn on you after they have run into your line of fire too many times.

That's just one example!

I have never raged so hard at a game.

The Horde isn't that bad, they throw up and on some rare occasions i have seen two infected fight eachother, kinda lends to the aggressive zombie thing.

Assassins Creed AI is pretty pathetic. Mercs 2 AI is fucking funny. Army of Two AI is fucking annoying.
yea...assasins creed was pretty bad too. The final stage i literally "herded" the entire level then climbed up ther nearest ladder and plucked off the baddies one by one as they stepped foot on top of the roof.

Lots of people are saying Dead Rising but I really didn't mind them but you have to know how to work them. If they are on follow you might as well just kill them. They must always 100% of the time be on waypoints. As long as you do that they are a lot more manageable and actually push their way threw zombie mobs.

Painkiller
Painkiller was suppose to be a mindless mass murder shooter like Doom. It was SUPPOSE to have simple AI. Otherwise the gameplay simply would not have worked out as intended.
True that, Painkiller was very akin to Serious Sam in the fact that it was a pure run-and-gun shooter and it did that incredibly well, always keeping the intensity at 100%

Worst A.I ever i'd have to say goes to - MOH (the entire series was balls)
or Gothic 2, as much as i loved Gothic the AI was laughable at times.
Sleep in someones bed and he'll literally stand over you, watching you sleep for 12 hours and when you wake up, he'll casually slip into the pre-warmed bed and snooze for a couple of minutes then wake up refreshed.
I think it was the little quirks that made me love that game so much.

Oh and having NPC's walking constantly into buildings or often I'd see them nonchalantly leaping from plateaus to their death - especially annoying if they were quest-specific NPC's

If you've never tried to herd the survivors in Dead Rising, then you've never seen truly bad A.I.
i still have nightmares due to them lol, damn saint achievement.

i never thought it possible for someone to get stuck at the top of a staircase, on a wall, lets some zombies come and try and eat them, and when the safehouse is a stones throw away, run straight at the insane cultists and away from me while i ptifully attempt to call them back, and dead.
