True, and if the objective is to get some raw diamonds as fast as possible demonstrating mastery of the game, I'd expect a strategy like making a boat, finding a shipwreck and then a buried treasure chest. Takes just a few minutes usually.
Really though, if AI wants to impress me it needs to collect an assortment of materials and build a decent looking base. Play the way humans usually play.
Mining diamonds isn't even necessary if you build, e.g., ianxofour's iron farm on day one and trade that iron[0] with a toolsmith, armourer, and weaponsmith. You can get full diamond armour, tools, and weapons pretty quickly (probably a handful of game weeks?)
[0] Main faff here is getting them off their base trade level.
