I haven't played this yet, (no Ps4 yet) but every complaint I have heard or read of the game so far boils down to: 'It behaves like an actual animal, ergo the AI sucks!'. When what I've seen of the game tells me that the AI is actually pretty amazing and it reacts the way it does, by deliberate design.
You may like the design decisions Team Ico took or not, but it's definitively a design choice, not a programming shortcoming.
I, for one found what I've seen so far amazing, and occasionally hilarious, but I get if someone wanted something else out of their entertainment.
