Correctly so. What is called “AI” is effectively a mess of conditional branch instructions, except with a twist that you cannot know what they are or directly control them

With the twist that we cannot know what they are or directly control them being the important bit.

A bunch of conditional statements are fine so long as they can be reasonably analyzed. It's the point where you stop being able to analyze them that you have a risk you didn't before.
