Why is AI so ridiculously powerful?
Is it just me or AI survivors became so powerful that read your mind 30 seconds before your next move? the AI sees something even a solid player does not see. I did 50 waves as Pyramid Head and none hit the Survivor. it happens every custom match for me.
If this AI is go good, why zombies get stuck still?

They are programmed to be as powerful as professional Survivor.
They are not fun to play against, they don't make silly mistakes like real people do. And bHVR wants them to be thrown into every game where a Survivor DC's soon. But they still DO get stuck, so thats always great.

I wouldn't call them professional survivors.
They know how to loop, so you need to take advantage of their AI, preferably with your power. If you're a stealth killer, avoid keeping them on screen for long when you're sneaking up on them, because they know when you're looking at them. Use your terror radius to scare them off of generators. Keep track of where you lose them, and check the nearest generator when you do.
Also, I can say for sure that the AI is not perfect by a long shot.

Pyramid Head's shockwave is not an attack in the sense that virtually every other attack in the game is. Due to its tremendous warning sound, slow down, start-up delay, warning light, and execution speed; It is ONLY useful in extremely narrow confines or when the survivor is stuck in an animation lock (vaulting a window, throwing a pallet).
Do not try to use the shockwave in the open, through a wall, or in any area where the survivor can step 0.8 meters to the side and avoid the entire thing. This is true of any survivor with any experience at the game and this is true of AI bots.

...That is not how you play Pyramid Head. Even tournament-level Pyramid Heads will still go for M2s in the open- and hit them. Human reaction times simply aren't fast enough to consistently dodge an M2 if the Pyramid Head correctly predicted your movement.

I am afraid you are mistaken. By all means, feel free to try him out and find out for yourself.
His attack goes 8 meters. He slows way down when planting the blade and has zero left to right movement. The shockwave is preceded by an enormous red light that only survivors can see and had a travel time as it goes. The wave itself is less than a meter wide. Literally anybody can move left or right ever so slightly and be totally immune. And then, your post-move recovery is longer than simply missing with an attack.
The only survivors who get caught by that in the open are ones who are not looking behind themselves (or simply listening to the deafening warning sound) and don't know they can simply move slightly to one side.

Meanwhile my bots let me die in my first hook because they’re too afraid to come to rescue me because they hear the terror radius even if the killer’s not close

I think that is great. I hope they enhance them even more for cooperative work. Ideally if there are some slider option from "noob" (to test stuff) to "nightmare" where all gens are done in 5 minutes, everyone is god looper (for training).

Really? So these weren't competitive Survivor players? Weird, the names and the video's title are usually a dead giveaway.
Everything you just said about Pyramid Head ignores that Pyramid Head has one of the widest, if not THE widest projectile hitbox in the game. And sure, going for M2 hits in the open is a gamble, especially at max range, but getting a hit is hardly impossible even against good Survivors.
Again, human reaction times simply aren't that fast. The average human reaction time is 0.284 seconds. Pyramid Head's M2- at max range- lands 0.6 seconds after Pyramid Head presses the button to activate it. Meaning, the average Survivor player, after recognizing the threat, has only 0.316 seconds to sidestep the attack. Which is enough to dodge if you started near the edge of the hitbox or were already moving in a good direction, but not enough to dodge every single time.
And yes, I've played Pyramid Head myself. And yes, I've landed M2s in the open and through walls. If you think it's impossible, you don't know how to play Pyramid Head. If you did, you would know that you can aim left or right with his power if you just stop moving.
