Sure, it stuns, but it was often stacked with other stuns. I don't remember it ever being used on a low health target. So I'm drawing the conclusion that the bot only understands that the skill stuns, but doesn't understand the scaling damage.

It's impressive that the AI managed to gain a rudimentary understanding of the game almost completely independently since DotA2 is a very complicated game. It's just not interesting problem because game mechanics can easily be codified. It's like being impressed at self-driving cars because the AI learned that it should stop at a red light, it should just be coded to stop at a red light. Learning to stop at a red light isn't the interesting problem that needs solving for self-driving cars.

It's definitely not the "AI is better than humans" narrative that these articles like to push.
