Even the creators of Thief admit the AI is bad!
I've said this before, but obviously it bears repeating: The AI in Thief (1998) was really good for its time, but that was 20 years ago. People have both had time to study how the Thief AI works, and make better AI since then... though I'll admit I'm still waiting on the latter part, especially when one considers how much time has passed.

At 19:20 He says that AI in stealth games has to be stupid because it's not there to stop you from doing your thing but is simply there to create an interesting obstacle for the player.
The guards can listen and see and patrol the area searching for the player and they still can't detect Garrett hiding at a moderately dark corner in front of them.Compared to what ?
Thief AI at least follow patrol shedule, can listen and see and in case of something going on they investigate around. On higher def once they found something they will be alert all the time and go around looking for you constantly. If they spot you they would call other guards and if you would hurt them they would run away calling for help. It is not perfect but it is great for what it does and age it was written.
Only similar AI on such level exist in MGS4 on higher difficulty. Main competitors to Thief like sprinter cell or hitman have even dumber AI. Even MGS5 AI was worse compared to MGS4.
MGS4 AI was great but you had to play on highest def for it to work correctly like it should. They would even fucking smell you out if you were hiding in dumpster before. IF they would search you they would be opening dumpsters, boxes, go one after another like pros with whole team securing view from all sides so you couldn't just switch quickly position like in MGS5.
Nintendo would like to know your location.
