About AI and smart targeting

[Scial]

This may have been stated already by the devs or mentioned somewhere, however I can't recall. So I was wondering whether or not does (or will) the AI recognise unprotected parts of the body and tries to aim it's blows accordingly? It would surprise me if this weren't the case, seeing where Bare Mettle is going for with the game, but I am just wondering.

Dude, they are already doing it. My last arena death was really hilarious, i think bots are lying a lot.

According to the starter guide and the preface before starting the game, I believe it states the enemy looks for the nearest or most lethal opening in combat to strike at you.
