It's very tricky to make computer opponents behave the way a human player would. While it's possible to design an AI that receives data similar to what a player receives, then analyzes it to make a decision, this is immensely difficult. Since the AI is an integral part of the game engine, a far easier (and thus much more common) technique is to simply pluck the information directly from the engine, and base all AI decisions on that.
The consequence is that computer players can get an unfair advantage over humans: It isn't bothered by dark colors or (loss of) environmental lighting. Its performance isn't encumbered by Interface Screw, Damn You, Muscle Memory!, or any amount of nested menu navigation. And since it's part of the same engine that keeps track of where your players and units are on the map, if the AI wants to mount an attack, it knows where to find you better than you do, Fog of War (or even walls) be damned.
The AI is the narrator of the story; if you win, it's only because it told you so.
Of course, this doesn't always make for a fun playing experience. To bring back the fun, programmers must make the AI act like it has the same limitations as a human; anything it's not supposed to know for the sake of game balance, it has to tell itself not to know it.
When it doesn't, you have an All Seeing AI: Stealth is useless, no surprises are possible, and it will (almost) never miss a shot. Attempts to use smoke, camouflage, concealing terrain, or other environmental features to hide your presence are all less than useless, as are magical means such as invisibility cloaks and potions. Consequently, players should not bother with misdirection, flanking, or other forms of deception and psychological warfare that would work wonderfully against actual humans. This is often the reason for Useless Useful Stealth in games that are not specifically stealth-centric. In a similar manner, high-difficulty-setting fighting game opponents can read your controller input to counter your move before you can even use it properly. This trope can therefore in some ways be seen as the flipside of Artificial Stupidity, were instead of appearing unrealistically stupid, the AI appears unrealistically competent.
Often one of the main reasons why The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard, although it isn't strictly cheating, as the AI doesn't bend the game mechanics as such. Not to be confused with A.I. Is a Crapshoot or The Computer is Your Friend, which tend to involve a more literal all-seeing, malicious AI that monitors your every move.
Compare with News Travels Fast, that is when everything you do is already known and acknowledged by every other character in the game (often happens in RPGs).

In Day One: Garry's Incident, the A.I. can see you clear across the map, unhindered by the huge jungle full of trees and foliage. This results in a lot of abrupt attacks from out of nowhere. At other times, the A.I. will completely ignore you when you're standing right in front of them.

In Company of Heroes the Computer AI can see through the fog, this means that AT Guns and Mortars are able to attack your units as long as you are in range.
It's not as bad as it used to be though, the AI used to fire mortars at cloaked units. Particularly ridiculous with artillery vehicles such as the Nebelwerfer in Hill 192, which will fire rocket barrages at your camouflaged snipers as soon as they enter the secondary base where this rocket launcher is stationed. That is, the AI will fire at you even if this means targeting its units and buildings.

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, it's averted: NPC's only know what they can see or hear, so if you get out of their line of perception and stay quiet, they'll base their tactics on where they last saw or heard you. The problem is that their perception radius is absurd and pinpoint accurate, so once you blow your cover, all nearby enemies will know exactly where you did so. Fortunately, this is fixed in just about every mod out there (by reducing their perception radius to more reasonable levels), except for Oblivion Lost, when the AI gets Improbable Aiming Skills and can see you from a hundred meters away in pitch darkness. They also have no trouble seeing/shooting you through thick foliage such as dense bushes and low-hanging tree branches for instances, unlike you.

Nancia in The Ship Who... Partnership is a twisted body installed into a starship, with a full brain-computer interface that lets her examine and alter code and data. Her brother brings her a videogame to install on her systems so they can play together, only to realize that Nancia is fully aware of the whole thing and isn't limited by what her character should be aware of. He accuses her of cheating.

The Wargroove AI is immune to fog of war. While it can be told to play defensively and only attack if you get within range, the AI will immediately attack once one of their units is in range of one of yours, whether those units' vision range actually let them see you or not.

Tales of Link is notorious for the AI only turning on tile targeting attacks (which often do significantly more damage) when you are about to get those tiles. It will never try this when you're about to get tiles it wouldn't hit.

In Mount & Blade AI does not have its vision hurt by foggy/night battlefield. As the player is the only one that can use archers properly without Warband's AI upgrades (that is, put them on top of a hill and wait for the enemy), this tends to be in your favor.

Bots in Counter-Strike are schizophrenic in this. If you throw a smoke grenade they run right past you if you stand in the smoke, other times on a labyrinth-like map with 3-4 paths leading to where the bot is standing, he will place himself to exactly the path the next enemy will come from and then to the next, the next...
And other times when he is all alone and you come from behind a corner he waits long enough with firing so you could introduce yourself.

Warframe has this as a gameplay element, in a sense. Enemies won't know you are nearby (and are pretty bad at noticing the technicolor ninja with glowing lights) at first, but if you are detected, the enemies in the area will all become alerted and react in this way- and if one of them reaches a terminal to activate an alarm it'll cause every enemy for the rest of the level to automatically know where you are once you enter their area. Additionally, bosses and their spawned minions are automatically "alerted".

In the Fire Emblem games that feature Fog of War, enemy and AI units can target units hidden by the Fog of War. Ordinarily, to attack a unit hidden in the Fog of War, a player would have to move a unit to the enemy's location, then send over a second unit to attack the enemy(not to mention that if a player unit runs into an enemy, they will stop right there and end their turn) but the AI has no such restrictions. This is most obvious in Hector Hard Mode's "Living Legend," where Pent, a friendly unit who shares visibility with the player but is under the AI's control in that mission, will actively seek out enemies neither you nor he can see.

Played straight and subverted in Alien: Isolation, which actually uses two separate AIs working in tandem to hunt you. The Xenomorph relies entirely on its field of vision and hearing to detect the player, but there also exists a separate "director" AI that always knows where you are. Every so often the director will give "hints" to the Xenomorph that send it in your general direction, and from there it's up to it to find and kill you with its own sight and hearing. This gives you just enough of a chance of evading it that the game remains fair, but also ensures that it's always nearby no matter how quiet and well-hidden you are. If you have just shy of a half-hour to kill, this video goes into indepth detail to how it works.
However, if you enter a side vent and hide in the tunnels, it is guaranteed that it will come to get you after a short time, with only a few exceptions where it cannot physically reach you. This is deliberate to avoid camping between rooms, since you must use vents only to seize the occasion for quickly navigating through areas and not for hiding in safety until everything it's clear. On the other hand, you are almost always safe in underfloor vents unless you attract it with noises, with only a few exceptions, but underfloor vents don't allow to easily see what's outside.
The alien will only check a locker if you are hiding inside, and only that one. If you are in a large locker, it will also almost always check it even if you didn't make noises - on the other hand again, it will check small lockers only if you made a lot of noise on the spot.
Sometimes the AI has effectively detected you, but can't get to your position. In this case the alien will return into the ceiling vents only to immediately pop out and go for you once you leave your unreachable spot. note What actually happens is that if alerted the AI is programmed to run into the last position where it detected you, and if you are in sight, attack you, otherwise patrol the area and check hidings. If you are unreachable, the AI can't calculate a path towards you and doesn't mark a position for where your detection happened. So it can't initialize an attack run towards you, but rather than resetting, it is stuck into the aggression routine without switching to any other mode like roaming. Instead of standing frozen in position, whenever the alien hasn't any checkpoint to reach it is scripted to return into the vents, but the aggression routine persists. When you pop out, the pathfinding can lock you, the routine resumes, and the alien automatically goes out to fulfill it. At this point however the AI was restored so you can leave and the alien will have to find you again.

Grand Theft Auto V has a few notable examples:
The police will still triangulate a player that has killed a NPC or another player, despite using a silenced weapon, avoiding public view, the distance the shot was fired from, and hiding behind solid walls. Police appear to know where and who to arrest within a second of committing a crime.
In the President's Run, the cops know your position from the very start.
Sometimes you are asked to assassinate a target, with the target being programmed to run / drive away as soon as they are threatened. Often these targets will feel threatened by an unseen player aiming a sniper reticule at them from half a block away...

Also in Operation Flashpoint, enemies have X-ray vision with vehicles too. You can sneak into an enemy base at night and, because you are on foot, the enemies will not see you. But if you were to, say, climb inside of a parked tank, the entire base will automatically know there is a hostile tank and start shooting before you so much as turn the engine on.

In Just Cause 2, causing any sabotage will set off the alarm, no matter where you are, even if you caused the sabotage by setting off a C4 in the next island, and even if you did not even cause the sabotage to happen. However, even if they do know where you are, if they can't physically see and shoot at you while you're there, eventually they'll actually forget about you.

Throughout the Saints Row series, if you have enough notoriety, the rival gangs and cops will always track you down, no matter how far you run. This gets ridiculous (albeit justified, since you're in a computer simulation run by the Big Bad) in Saints Row IV, where you can pretty much jump across the entire city in a snap and the Zin will keep chasing you.

In Unturned, once you've been detected, zombies are extremely hard to shake and will home in on your location regardless of line of sight or sound. Stand on top of a hangar with a horde of zombies chasing you at the northwest corner, crawl over the top to the southeast corner and watch the horde run around or through the building to your position.

Guards in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops are practically psychic. Even if you're playing as one of them, wearing the same face-obscuring uniform, with the same equipment, if anything suspicious happens, such as an explosion, they will instantly know you were behind it, even if it would be completely impossible for any of them to have seen you plant the bomb.

Oblivion:
Any time you kill someone even in the same general area of a guard, regardless of whether or not they see or hear you, you get a bounty on your head. Even if you're completely invisible, they'll still know you did it. Fortunately, their pathfinding in their attempts to arrest you doesn't benefit from this clairvoyance...
Enemies know exactly where you are even if you 1-shotted their friend with a Stealth shot from a bow (even if they were looking away from you and their friend AND there's no way they could see your hiding spot), and killing a guard gets you an automatic bounty even without a witness.

An example that can be turned to the player's advantage; if you give any party members a "Foe: <Element>-weak" gambit in Final Fantasy XII, your allies will always know when the enemy is weak to that element, even if the enemy has immunity from the Libra effect (that reveals weaknesses).
Inverted in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: the player can see enemies' reaction abilities, but the AI can't. This leads to the AI wasting turns by doing things like using normal attacks on units whose reaction ability makes them always dodge normal attacks.

In World of Warcraft, Mobs can actually see you from behind. While yes, you could say they simply heard you walking, but they'll do it from about twenty feet away. But even worse than this? Mobs can see you through walls. As long as you step into their aggro range, a mob will come screaming at you, whether it makes any sense or not. This was particularly bad underwater, like in a shipwreck, adding to the infuriating nature of underwater quests.
Stealth won't always save you either. In fact, some enemies have a larger radius for detecting stealthed players than their normal one.

World of Warships gives the bot ships an unlimited sight range so they always know where player ships are (although in order to fire, they need to actually see the target), and unlimited torpedo detection so that bots have at least some chances to dodge them. Unlike most games, this is actually done not only to make human vs A.I. fights less of a Curb-Stomp Battle every time, but to make the fights less frustrating: before the introduction of all-seeing bots, too many a Coop game would end in players gathered in one corner, with one or two bots blindly wandering on the opposite side of the map instead of coming towards the players for actual battle.

Splinter Cell
If you blow your cover in the first three games, all enemies in the vicinity will instantly know your position and will shoot you if you're in their line of sight, light and shadow be damned. One glaring example is in the second mission of the first game, in a scripted event with three alert enemy soldiers: even if Sam is perfectly hidden and undetectable, when a soldier with his rifle raised walks around the office, he'll point his gun unerringly at where Sam is hidden.
Conviction refined this; enemies now fire and search Sam's last known position, allowing him to sneak around and flank them. Sam himself gains "Sonic Goggles" that let him see enemies through walls. In the very level he gets them, he faces foes armed with similar devices.

Surprisingly averted in the game's remake XCOM: Enemy Unknown, however. The alien AI can only take into account the troops that it has seen, and will occasionally make glaring tactical missteps as a result. If an alien can see one of your troopers going for a flank attack, it will probably reposition to prevent it; if they don't know the soldier is there until he starts firing, you can probably expect an easy kill.

The Grand Theft Auto series frequently features opponents who always know where you are, no matter how fast you run or how many times you change cars.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the mere act of throwing a grenade is very likely to net you a wanted level star as soon as it leaves your hand, even if you do it in the quietest portions of the backwoods or in the middle of the desert, where no NPC's spawn.
A particularly egregious example involves information only the player is supposed to have. It's bad enough the cops in Grand Theft Auto IV already manage to appear within their own line-of-sight of you just as you're getting out of their "arrest zone", but it becomes even more blatant when they appear specifically on a GPS route you've laid out for yourself.
Grand Theft Auto V has a few notable examples:
The police will still triangulate a player that has killed a NPC or another player, despite using a silenced weapon, avoiding public view, the distance the shot was fired from, and hiding behind solid walls. Police appear to know where and who to arrest within a second of committing a crime.
In the President's Run, the cops know your position from the very start.
Sometimes you are asked to assassinate a target, with the target being programmed to run / drive away as soon as they are threatened. Often these targets will feel threatened by an unseen player aiming a sniper reticule at them from half a block away...

Oftentimes in Civilization, the computer will send out settlers to claim every strategic resource they can find before you can. This includes resources that only become visible later in the Tech Tree.
It kind of does this for you as well. In Civ 4, at least, the game will suggest where to settle your city, and sometimes it is suggesting a place where you will find iron/coal/uranium/etc later on.

Pretty much all Resident Evil games utilize this. Though enemies are often inactive until you run into their line of sight or make noise that alerts them to your presence, once they know you're there they'll relentlessly zero in on you and never not know where you are no matter how far away you get. This isn't very glaring in earlier games where rooms are small enough that it's reasonable they'd know where you went, but it really sticks out in the larger maps of the newer games: once a Ganado, Majini, or J'avo has spotted you they'll do nothing but constantly and actively track your current position no matter how far away you run or where you hide.
The Gamecube Remake of Resident Evil subverts this with Crimson Heads, and only Crimson Heads. Any other monster in the game needs to either be alerted to your presence (either by sound or by seeing you), or doesn't turn aggressive unless you get too close or antagonize it like the crows. Crimson Heads on the other hand always know you're there: the second you enter an area where one is it's already sprinting toward you. This is balanced by how their corpses don't get back on their feet until you draw close to one, making it possible to stay far enough away from them to prevent them from getting up depending on where you felled them, but once one is up it's up for good.

Skyrim:
Often, even when the enemy you just killed is a totally blind Falmer, whom you killed with a stealth attack, with a bow, from 500 yards away, instantly, his friends (who are also totally blind) will all begin running STRAIGHT towards you with laser-perfect accuracy. All at once. It can get pretty ridiculous sometimes.
Another striking example are the "Hired Thug" groups that are sent after you in retribution for stealing stuff. They slowly and magnetically home in on you, no matter where in the game world you are. Even if you manage to fool them for a moment, they will only roam around disoriented for a couple of seconds - afterwards, all of them will turn your way again. And slowly start creeping towards your new position. Invisibility potions, shadow, heavy fog, perfect stealth, cliffs and 10foot-thick rock cover be damned.
Guards will also home in on you with perfect accuracy (regardless of your concealment) to complain about your Shouting. Even if you just used Aura Whisper (which, as the name suggests, is a barely heard whispering) to spot the guards in the Dwemer Museum. Who will, after telling you to stop, promptly attack you for trespassing.
Even more egregious, you can silently sneak into a house, pocket a small item, and escape undetected, and there's still a chance that the item's owner will hire thugs to track you down by name! Even worse, they may call upon the Dark Brotherhood, a top-tier assassin's guild, to assassinate you. This can happen even if the victim is a simple farmer and the stolen item is a tomato. Disproportionate retribution, indeed.

A minor example in Fallout: New Vegas: using silenced weapons in hiding can let you get away with killing people, but killing certain high-ranking NPCs will always earn you infamy and make members of that faction or town hostile. In the case of the NCR and Legion, killing one of their leaders will cause them to declare you a terrorist and become permanently hostile. Although the trope is in play with gameplay, it makes sense from a story perspective, as those characters are well guarded, so the player character is the only one with the opportunity and motive to kill them in the course of the game. The two major factions also send hitmen after you in scripted encounters ("The Caesar has marked you for death, ready yourself for battle!"); like Fallout 3, they always track you down once you enter their patrol areas, even if you are in Sneak mode.
Inexplicably, the member of the Boomers using the artillery cannon can always tell where you are even if you're in hiding and using a Stealth Boy.
At the end of the Dead Money DLC, if you try to shortcut out of the vault, Elijah will automatically detect you and reactivate the force fields and turrets.
The Nightstalkers, Cazadores, Cyberdogs, and even Lobotomites in Old World Blues have ridiculously high perception that allows them to detect the player a half-mile away even when they have a stealthboy on.

In the Batman: Arkham Series Predator sections, the mooks always know where you are, this can be tested by sitting on a gargoyle or other "hidden" position while using the Remote Batarang on the other side of the room to pester the henchmen, eventually one of them will get fed up, shout "he's over here", run across the room/map, look up and "find" you.

Heroes of the Storm offers up an amusing variation. A.I. bots know exactly where you are if you're cloaked note Nova and Zeratul cloak automatically, while other heroes have to talent into it., but do not realize you're there if you're hiding in concealing terrain like tall grass. If you're cloaked and hiding in said terrain, the former overrides the latter and the A.I knows where you are.

In the Rainbow Six series, once you make a noise with an unsilenced weapon or a stray bullet ricocheting, the tangos in the area will all know your position, although they can't see you yet. And when they do see you, even if you peek around a corner, they will almost always get an instant One-Hit Kill.

X-COM: UFO Defense: As soon as an alien sees one of your soldiers, their Ethereals and/or high-ranking Sectoids can make psionic attacks on any of your soldiers (although they will always target the weakest non-mindcontrolled soldier first). Also, after round 20 the enemy will know your positions automatically.
Though the second case is understandable as an Anti-Frustration Feature, if the last alien wasn't found after 20 turns it might be very boring to track him down, so if he knows where you are and comes for you it gets much better. The problem comes when you're going at an alien base or very large UFO that'll probably take more than 20 turns to clear...
Experienced players would choose to set up a defensive position outside of a UFO and simply wait out the aliens. After 20 turns, the aliens would unfailingly throw any form of tactical approach aside and begin to exit the ship, allowing entrenched agents to mow them down en masse.
Surprisingly averted in the game's remake XCOM: Enemy Unknown, however. The alien AI can only take into account the troops that it has seen, and will occasionally make glaring tactical missteps as a result. If an alien can see one of your troopers going for a flank attack, it will probably reposition to prevent it; if they don't know the soldier is there until he starts firing, you can probably expect an easy kill.
Unfortunately, when the remake's Expansion Pack gives an invisibility power available for your soldiers, the aliens actually know where they are and will actively try to expose them (through flanking or destroying their cover).
In XCOM2, aliens can use their AOE attacks against stealthed soldiers, at least when they have no other target. On Legendary difficulty, if your team travels too far while in concealment, the alien teams will converge on the player and deliberately avoid triggering overwatch until they've gathered a large numbers advantage. This is clearly to discourage treating it like a stealth game, but is not explained to the player at all (e.g. saying the aliens have found your team's tracks).

Inverted in Mario Kart Wii, with the view-obscuring Blooper Ink interface screw. For regular players, it makes it hard to see what's up ahead of you, but certainly not hard to see where the track is. For computer-controlled players, however, expect to see extreme amounts of off-course racing when it happens!
Likewise in Mario Kart DS. You could just switch to the bottom screen for the short time that the Ink is affecting you.
Also in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (with Banjo-Kazooie), the Pocket Rainbow, which works like the Banana Peel of Mario Kart, but instead, acts like a Blooper. This is also inverted by the Shooting Star, which makes the player's screen turn upside-down.

Dwarf Fortress:
Goblin invaders automatically know the shortest way into your fortress. The game is a good illustration of how omniscient pathing can be CPU-expensive — especially with reproducing creatures, which is known as "catsplosion". And how it can be exploited: Dorf Fortress players being what they are, they figured out that if you keep two ways into your fortress and alternately open and shut the doors hostiles approach, it's possible to get the gobbos marching back and forth through your hallways full of giant swinging axe blades and walls of rotating saws until the entire siege is reduced to a fine paste. And that with one Pressure Plate per exit you can automate it and they will never catch on.
Also, the dwarfs always know the shortest route, even if they've never been where you tell them to go. They can't see an ambushing enemy that hasn't been spotted, but once it's spotted every dwarf will know where it is from then on.
Interestingly, with civilizations sending diplomats it also partially compensates for the exploitable part. Goblin soldiers will gladly blunder into your traps time and time again. Piss off the humans, though, and their soldiers will remember and avoid every trap any their peaceful representative has ever seen.

In Fallout 3 being caught committing a crime or act of bad karma, such as pickpocketing, theft, murder, breaking and entering, or using the Mesmetron to enslave someone, will immediately alert all the people in the location and turn them hostile.
Also, after getting a certain level of karma (either good or bad) you get hitmen sent after you. The first encounter is a scripted encounter that comes after you exit a metro station some time after attaining the required karma level. And they will find you. It doesn't matter if you're wearing the Chinese Stealth Suit at that moment, they'll walk right up to you and tell you they're going to kill you.
A minor example in Fallout: New Vegas: using silenced weapons in hiding can let you get away with killing people, but killing certain high-ranking NPCs will always earn you infamy and make members of that faction or town hostile.

Halo:
Halo 2 introduces unlockable skulls that make the game harder. One of them, the Whuppapotamus (aka "That's Just Wrong") skull, allows enemies to effectively see you when you have the Invisibility Cloak on, among other AI upgrades.
On Legendary difficulty in any game, once alerted to your presence, the AI will be able to send pinpoint fire to your location every time you poke your nose out. They can actually be facing away from the player, but the second the Chief/The Rookie/Noble Six/etc. exposes themselves, they are instantly alerted.

Likewise, on Far Cry Classic's Realistic difficulty, enemies will know exactly where you are once you alert them with gunfire, despite you being out of view in thick foliage half a mile away, and can even sometimes sense your presence before you make any noise. Contrastingly, in the original PC version, foliage was actually useful for stealth.

In Far Cry 2, once one bad guy has spotted the player, every goon in the area instantly knows exactly where he is and can fire with pinpoint accuracy even when the player is crouched in head-high grass he himself is unable to see through. Darkness also seems little hindrance.

Witness in horror as your undetected assault of pirate outposts in Far Cry 3 is ruined multiple times by a drunk molotov guy or a dog somehow being able to spot you from half a mile out despite the fact that you're using bows and silenced sniper rifles, hiding in the trees, and likely hopped up on drugs that literally make you undetectable. It gets worse when you get to the second island, because the game will spawn in literal truckloads of mooks that casually drive up to your position if you take too long.

Enemies in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link that chase you can actually read your D-Pad inputs to determine what you're going to do with split-second accuracy. However, you can actually use this against them: when jumping you lose no momentum if you take your hand off the D-Pad, which you can use to alter their movement. If you jump holding forward they'll back off to prevent you from getting past, while if you jump without touching the D-Pad they'll run under you and you'll pass them easily.

Blizzard really made an effort to prevent this in Starcraft II. On difficulties other than Insane, the AI does not see the entire map. But it does like to send scouts to every nook and cranny, and adapts to the units and buildings it sees.
In Starcraft 2 burrowed Roaches and Infestors can be seen when moving underground. Stationary stealthed units are harder to spot, and burrowed ones are truly invisible unless in the presence of a detector.

Another silly example courtesy of Far Cry 3 - at one point on the second island, you're disguised as a mercenary and tasked with assassinating three merc captains inside a base. If you kill a guard and someone discovers the body, everyone instantly knows you did it and comes gunning for you, even if you killed him silently with no witnesses and are on the other side of the camp when the body is found.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has this as a moderate problem in the campaign. Any time there is something obstructing your view, it is basically non-existent to the AI. Dust? They see right through it. Snow? Fat chance that'll slow their snipers down. A SOLID CONCRETE WALL!? Haha, they know exactly where you are at ALL times, and if you try to hide there and regenerate your health they'll immediately pull out an RPG and break the wall down. This makes certain sections FAR more difficult than they should be.
Perhaps as a nod to this, one of the most frequently used Glitch powers is a scanner pinpointing the exact location of the user (i.e: the human player) and his progress.

Notable in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, which being a Stealth-Based Game is generally pretty good in this respect, is the snow pass level: the developers apparently forgot that a blizzard, at night ought to have some effect on the ninjas' ability to spot you; they're also preset to realize that your papers are fake and open fire after a five-second animation - even if you walk away and are well out of sight by the time they're done reading them. It gets worse with the snipers in watchtowers. Even if you are wearing a ninja uniform that completely covers your face, from hundreds of feet away they will instantly recognize you as an impostor and shoot you on sight.

In the TV series ReBoot (which was set in a computer and involved the main characters trying to beat the user in uploaded games), hero Bob would often use his keytool to scan the game, which would tell him the game's details, the number of lives the User had, and where the User was at all times, effectively invoking this trope in-universe.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, no Interface Screw in the world is going to deter the AI. Examples include:
In both games, the AI notices when items have appeared off screen, which can result in it running off in the middle of a heated duel to grab an item that it shouldn't have even noticed until it came on screen. This only applies to overly large stages though, as the majority of stages are small enough to stay entirely on camera the majority of the time.
When Togepi appears in either game and performs Night Shade, the screen goes completely black. You can't see what the hell you are doing, but the AI knows exactly where you are in the darkness, making this Pokemon move more of a hindrance.
In Melee with the Cloaking Device item, which turns the character invisible, but does nothing to deter the AI.
In Melee 1P mode, instead of being used to input smash attacks, the c-stick instead adjusts the camera. This is entirely useless though, as all it does it screw with the interface and obstruct your vision, while you're fighting cpu opponents who always know where you are regardless.
And in addition to general immunity to Interface Screw, the higher-level AI has superhuman reaction speed thanks to knowing your inputs. Melee level 9 CPUs were notorious for throwing out perfectly-timed jabs to interrupt most of your approaches and attacks, in addition to being able to consistently powershield, which is extremely difficult.
When the Nintendog appears to cover the screen in Brawl, nothing happens to the AIs.
In Brawl, the AI have perfect bearings when the controls or the stage in Spear Pillar is reversed, making the fight much harder than it needs to be.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U has the amiibo figures that you can use. When Nintendo means that the amiibo learns from you, they mean that the amiibo can eventually know what your strategy is and counter them. This can even result in a Curb-Stomp Battle.

In the middle of the Rub' al Khali desert in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, a sandstorm stirs up as the player reaches Ubar. In the middle of the firefight (with a mounted turret, even) it's almost impossible to see a few feet past Drake, forcing the player to pay attention to the direction of the shots and make blind fire toward their general direction. Meanwhile, no matter how skillfully the player flanks the enemy or darts about the arena, they will always be tracked and targeted with accuracy by the AI.

The AI in the Heroes of Might and Magic series ignores Fog of War. While the programming at lower difficulty levels covers this up quite well (as the AI has intentionally screwed-up priorities for what it will and will not do, and thus picks targets more at random which apes a player not knowing the map), at higher difficulty levels the AI will beeline for priority targets that would be hidden to a human player in the same position. Often that priority target is you main castle if not your main hero.

The Command & Conquer: Red Alert series feature Gap Generators, structures which create a permanent shroud above itself, effectively hiding anything that is covered by its radius of effect. It is somewhat effective in multiplayer for long games, because it can hide units and structures, forcing your opponents to guess what sort of attack to send your way. However, it's completely useless against AI opponents, which are omniscient and can target any specific unit or structure, even ones that it isn't supposed to see. To be fair, the AI still won't be able to send any standard aircraft to attack units/structures within the Gap Generator's field of effect. Special Weapons utilising aircraft (Paratroopers, Spy Plane, Parabombs), however, can and will be used by the AI when possible.

The Elder Scrolls series is notorious for this, having a number of variations on it in each game. To note:
City Guards have this to varying degrees throughout the series. Commit a crime anywhere near one, and there is a good chance you'll get a bounty even if there is no possible way your crime was witnessed. As with most things, this has improved over the course of the series along with general improvements to the AI, though it is still quite common.
In Daggerfall, enemies can see you from entirely different floors and through closed doors.
Morrowind:
Merchants and guards have another kind of clairvoyance — every item has its owner's name hard-coded inside, so when you steal something (ownership doesn't change), even if no one sees you and no alarms are raised, ALL guards all over the world will know that it's stolen and should you be arrested for any reason, even for something completely unrelated, the guards will also confiscate the previously stolen item. Similarly, a merchant will recognize an item if you try to sell them back what you stole from them, even if it is a single arrow in a 300 arrow stock. The merchant will turn hostile and your crime will be reported to any nearby guards as well.
Further complicating matters is that the owner hard-coding can cause legitimately acquired items of the same type to appear stolen. If you, for example, steal a loaf of bread from one merchant and then eat/discard/sell it to another merchant, then legitimately acquire another loaf of bread and return to the merchant you originally stole from they will accuse you of trying to sell them THEIR loaf of bread. For the rest of the game this will remain the case with that merchant and that item. For this reason, when playing as a thief, it's a good idea to not steal from every merchant you meet.
Oblivion:
Any time you kill someone even in the same general area of a guard, regardless of whether or not they see or hear you, you get a bounty on your head. Even if you're completely invisible, they'll still know you did it. Fortunately, their pathfinding in their attempts to arrest you doesn't benefit from this clairvoyance...
Enemies know exactly where you are even if you 1-shotted their friend with a Stealth shot from a bow (even if they were looking away from you and their friend AND there's no way they could see your hiding spot), and killing a guard gets you an automatic bounty even without a witness.
Skyrim:
Often, even when the enemy you just killed is a totally blind Falmer, whom you killed with a stealth attack, with a bow, from 500 yards away, instantly, his friends (who are also totally blind) will all begin running STRAIGHT towards you with laser-perfect accuracy. All at once. It can get pretty ridiculous sometimes.
Another striking example are the "Hired Thug" groups that are sent after you in retribution for stealing stuff. They slowly and magnetically home in on you, no matter where in the game world you are. Even if you manage to fool them for a moment, they will only roam around disoriented for a couple of seconds - afterwards, all of them will turn your way again. And slowly start creeping towards your new position. Invisibility potions, shadow, heavy fog, perfect stealth, cliffs and 10foot-thick rock cover be damned.
Guards will also home in on you with perfect accuracy (regardless of your concealment) to complain about your Shouting. Even if you just used Aura Whisper (which, as the name suggests, is a barely heard whispering) to spot the guards in the Dwemer Museum. Who will, after telling you to stop, promptly attack you for trespassing.
Even more egregious, you can silently sneak into a house, pocket a small item, and escape undetected, and there's still a chance that the item's owner will hire thugs to track you down by name! Even worse, they may call upon the Dark Brotherhood, a top-tier assassin's guild, to assassinate you. This can happen even if the victim is a simple farmer and the stolen item is a tomato. Disproportionate retribution, indeed.

In Total Annihilation, the AI knows which, where, and how many units do you have, to the point of launching an early attack if it sees that you are not building defenses (noticeably preventable if you reload and just rush units), and targeting your metal extractors from the distance on hard difficulty after you (re)build them. But moreover it knows where you're parking your commander, even if you make it go underwater or use the cloaking ability. In the first case, beware of enemy destroyers and submarines "accidentally" stumbling in its position and torpedoing it. The second case is even more blatant: you can easily notice by building dragon's teeth to block enemy units, and then just look at how they mindlessly amass on the side of the map that is closest to your commander, even moving around if you relocate it, like magnets.

Downplayed in Iji. Enemies have "sight" and "hearing" systems that determine when they notice Iji, which makes it possible to sneak up on them when their back is turned, but on the other hand an "active" enemy will always know where she is, even if there's a platform between them (until they give up pursuit a few seconds later). The same applies to active turrets, which will always face the direction where Iji is, even when a platform blocks sight. This can be used in some cases to make the turret face a wall, wait for it to shut down, and crack it from behind.

A lot of the Yu-Gi-Oh! games before the DS's release have done this:
While this was perfectly justified for Pegasus, who actually had this ability in the series, it doesn't excuse the other opponents. Pegasus is always extra blatant about this in any game he's in. This is most obvious in Duelist of the Roses. In this game terrain bonuses and penalties come into effect. Most of the A.I.s will walk into losing battles if you play your card face down on occasion, and can be bluffed some of the time. Pegasus will accurately calculate the attack of your facedown card after all effects, and make sound decisions based on it.
Yu-Gi-OH! World Championship Tournament 2004 has every single opponent in the game know what your face down cards are. You try to set a monster with low defense? Their lowest attack monster that can surmount it attacks and destroys it. Set a different monster with more defense than their weakest monster's attack but has less than their second weakest? Their second weakest monster attacks and takes it out. In short, you just can't bluff them.
Yu-Gi-OH! Forbidden Memories has Pegasus again. He can't be bluffed and will always change his monsters' positions if he can't attack. The same can be said for every opponent in the endgame as well as Heishin in the early Hopeless Boss Fight; they all know what card you've set and attack based on that.
In particular, this made the card Magical Hats utterly useless; the AI would always attack the monster you were trying to protect!
The card Question forces the opponent to guess the bottom monster in your graveyard without looking. If they guess right, the monster is banished, but if they guess wrong, the monster is Special Summoned. Naturally, the AI will always guess right.
More amusingly, this actually turns Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast into a minor A.I. Breaker. Fusilier Dragon is a Level 7 monster with the effect that it can be Summoned or Set without Tributing monsters (normally it would cost 2), at the cost of halving its ATK and DEF points. Setting it this way causes the AI to refuse to attack it until they've gotten out their own big guns, because it doesn't take this effect into account and just sees a face-down Level 7 monster.

Inverted in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: the player can see enemies' reaction abilities, but the AI can't. This leads to the AI wasting turns by doing things like using normal attacks on units whose reaction ability makes them always dodge normal attacks.

Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary features the Searchlight mode, where, outside of Fever mode, the field is entirely obscured outside of a section that is visible through a rotating flashlight. The AI is completely unaffected by this. The same thing happens in Puyo Puyo Tetris, where Searchlight is one of the possible powerups that can be used on opponents in Party mode.

In The Elder Scrolls Online, all enemies with ranged attacks can shoot you through walls and other obstacles, even with a plain old bow and arrow. You can in no way do the same.

Inverted in Guitar Hero III, which has a battle mode famous for its Interface Screws. In this game, the attacks actually cause the AI to screw up far more than a human player would. Go ahead: try the "raise difficulty" attack on an easy portion of a song. The AI will still miss half the notes, even if they all happen to be green.

In Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War:
The Imperial Guard AIs not only have the uncanny ability to know exactly where your stealthed units are, but also the ability to place long range auspex (radar) scans right on top of them. To make matters worse, this ability has an unfairly short cooldown (for its effects, at least), and the Imperial Guard can have five HQ buildings and thus five scans, each on a separate cooldown from the others. This can be exploited by having some dummy stealthers around to attract auspex scans whilst the real stealth units do their work, but that's a waste for the most part. (It's a little less wasteful with the Tau or Space Marines, who have access to cheap stealth units.)
In the DoW sequels, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, many battles will take places on large maps with multiple possible locations for a base. Part of the game is figuring out where the enemy's base is located. The AI always knows where your base is, however, and will send units to harass you from the very beginning.
The Eldar (among other issues) have an extremely annoying ability to cloak their buildings by building a Webway Gate next to it (and since the Gate itself is cloaked and can build units, leaving even one alive lets them stay in the game). While human players can use this to annoy other players, it's useless against the AI, since they know where to find it.

Playing against a human in StarCraft, you can hide tech buildings in a random corner of the map where no sane player would look until he/she noticed the buildings not in your base (Which in of itself, is easily preventable); on the other hand, there's no point in hiding tech buildings from the computer. You're better off putting your entire tech tree in the back of your main base, behind your army and possible stationary defenses; ironically enough, a tactic that doesn't work against humans. (Humans just simply fly over your army and defenses and go straight for important buildings, the computer attacks the first thing it comes across.)
The computer will always go for your least defended base without seeming to even know where it is before the attack.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U has the amiibo figures that you can use. When Nintendo means that the amiibo learns from you, they mean that the amiibo can eventually know what your strategy is and counter them. This can even result in a Curb-Stomp Battle.

In Pocket Tanks, there are a number of weapons that will randomize a tank's gun angle and power. These are of course completely useless against AI tanks, which always know the angle and power for a perfect trajectory even in gale-force winds that switch direction every turn.

The hostiles in Minecraft are like this, but only after they've already spotted you the normal way. Then they can track your movement through any kind of wall and even explode from behind a thin wall. Results in Artificial Stupidity in that transparent blocks like glass count as walls, so mobs cannot see you through glass unless you've already been spotted through just air.
Played straight with Spiders and their poisonous relatives Cave Spiders. They can sense you through walls.

Averted in Perfect Dark with the tranquilizer. When human players are hit, the screen goes blurry and it becomes hard to see. When the AI is hit, they essentially lose their ability to see entirely, resulting in them firing their guns at everything except you.
If you enter a lit area with your night vision goggles, it becomes blurry and impossible to see. In one stage, if the lights go out in a place where the female guards are wearing night vision goggles and you turn the lights back on, they are also blinded and are unable to shoot you.

In the Call of Duty series, stealth missions suffer from this. In Modern Warfare, the enemies will instantly where you are if you are revealed, even by guy you killed immediately after while he was alone. For a particularly egregious example of this trope, see Roach's first mission in Modern Warfare 2.

As soon as you reveal that there's an intruder in Deus Ex, even if you don't telegraph your position (say, by shooting someone in the head with a silenced pistol from behind cover), everyone comes running straight for you.
In the sequel, since the Omar are a Hive Mind, if you kill one, the entire race turns against you.

In Medal of Honor: Airborne, enemies know when you are scoped in while using a sniper rifle and move just out of the way. Paranoid Nazis.

Oddly inverted in Metal Marines, at least in the PC version. A side loses when all three of its "bases" are destroyed. Normally, the AI will ruthlessly attack any assets of yours it "discovers", but it will completely ignore any base hidden under a camouflage unit until one of its missiles, which it fires at random locations on your map, happens to hit its location. A human player, on the other hand, will recognize the distinctive camouflage unit icon and immediately target it with a missile. This particular bit of Artificial Stupidity turns the camouflage unit into a complete Game-Breaker; you can just build a single missile launcher, fire it, let it get destroyed, and repeat this process until the AI no army left, because it never quite gets around to actually killing you.

Piggy: Bots have this built well into their AI:
Prior to Sewers, the fifth chapter in the second book of the game, all piggy bots always knew the location of all players, and would always be moving in the direction of the closest player. Alfis, the bot of chapter 5 of the second book, finally broke this by only following players in his sight.
All piggy bots are completely immune to the flare tool, which causes a large Interface Screw on player piggies that pass over it.

In XCOM2, aliens can use their AOE attacks against stealthed soldiers, at least when they have no other target. On Legendary difficulty, if your team travels too far while in concealment, the alien teams will converge on the player and deliberately avoid triggering overwatch until they've gathered a large numbers advantage. This is clearly to discourage treating it like a stealth game, but is not explained to the player at all (e.g. saying the aliens have found your team's tracks).

A particularly egregious example involves information only the player is supposed to have. It's bad enough the cops in Grand Theft Auto IV already manage to appear within their own line-of-sight of you just as you're getting out of their "arrest zone", but it becomes even more blatant when they appear specifically on a GPS route you've laid out for yourself.

In Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, not only can the enemies see Jax before they themselves are even visible (thanks to 90s-era pop-in and polygon fog), but attempting to pick them off early with a scoped weapon will backfire in ways the programmers likely didn't intend. In an odd case of Crosshair Aware, the enemies can see the first-person camera that simulates the sniper scope as it zooms in, and will gun Jax down instantly, because as soon as they can see it, they can see him.

DOOM: Monsters that have been alerted to your presence will "know" where you are and attempt to get to you to attack regardless of where you are in the level, although this is mitigated by their lack of pathfinding A.I.

Hope on a Distant Mountain: As the events of the original game were an Unwinnable Training Simulation in this story, this trope is invoked for why it's impossible for a player to simply prevent murders from happening. While the NPC students look like they're acting independently, they're really all extensions of a single AI (called Philemon) that decides their actions based on the needs of the narrative (a separate AI, called Tacitus) and a set of personality indicators. Whenever the narrative calls for a murder to be set up, Tacitus pings Philemon, who sorts through the characters at hand and gives Tacitus a list of plausible murderers and victims, plus what would cause them to break, and then Tacitus uses that information to set up a scenario that looks natural but in actuality was carefully set up beforehand.
For example, in the second case, Chihiro has to be killed off because 'Ultimate Programmer' is a Story-Breaker Power. Tacitus asks Philemon who might be provoked to kill Chihiro, why, and how they might get Chihiro alone. Philemon responds that Chihiro and Mondo Oowada have secrets that they really don't want known, and the threat would make the latter emotionally unstable, such that if Chihiro were to remind him of his feelings of inadequacy, he would black out and kill Chihiro. Chihiro, meanwhile, admired the chosen killer and could innocently trigger them by being emotionally strong (i.e., ready to take having his secret revealed) while complimenting the strength Mondo didn't think he had. Tacitus takes this information and creates the following narrative: Monokuma's second motive is the threat of revealing dark secrets if there isn't a murder-> the killer freaks out-> Chihiro resolves to become more manly so he can take having his true gender revealed and enlists the killer's help-> they do so in secret at night (with the excuse that Chihiro doesn't want any secrets revealed before they're ready, but with the real reason being so the killer can off Chihiro and not be noticed)-> Chihiro accidentally pushes Mondo's Trauma Button->the killer kills Chihiro.

The AI in Baldur's Gate is coded so that it always knows where your characters are, but isn't allowed to target any being outside its sight range or under an invisibility effect. This makes stealth completely useless beyond a certain level because the AI is programmed to counter invisibility effects with the spell True Sight. This means that when you enter a mage's sight radius while stealthed it will immediately cast True Sight and dispel it, revealing that the AI always knew you were there.
In the second game there is a cloak that makes the user immune to any form of magical detection, preventing enemies from succeeding with this trick. However they will still twitch and cast it over and over, showing that they know you are there and they would attack you if only the programming would allow it.

In Seven Kingdoms, the AI ignores Fog of War and unexplored areas, and always knows where everything is. This becomes especially noticeable when playing as Japan, as their Seat of Power lets them see when other players target their buildings — from the other end of the map, without ever having seen that civilization before.

Redcoats in Assassin's Creed III are particularly good at tracking Connor through the busy streets of such bustling Colonial cities as New York and Boston, even if you dive under a fence, through a back yard, climb onto a roof and drop down onto the deck of a ship, you can bet at least one persistent Brit managed to follow you, and the rest are all figuring out another way to get to you. The only way to shake them is to either escape outside their search range, or to get out of their line of sight and dive into a hiding place, such as a pile of hay or cart full of greenery.
Averted by Assassin's Creed: Odyssey: getting caught by a guard won't automatically alert every single one in the area. They have to shout their discovery of you first, and even that can be averted by them being out of earshot or you killing them non-stealthily before they can do it. You can even get into long-winded and hectic fights with multiple guards, defeat them all, then hide all their bodies and resume stealth because all the guards on the other side of the fort aren't aware of what happened. This helps greatly in making stealth viable even after you get caught.
That said, it's played straight with Mercenaries: get a bounty on you and a Mercenary will know about it and head to your position, no matter where you are. It works in the opposite direction too: remove the bounty by killing the person who set it, or by paying it from the Map screen, and the Mercenary will automatically know about it even if he's miles away from the bounty setter. Gets hilarious if a mercenary approaches you and you pause, pay off the Bounty, and unpause to see them turn 180 and walk away like they suddenly decided they're not actually interested in killing you.

In early versions of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, mooks would always know where the player was the instant they deactivated their cloaking device, leading to annoying scenarios of players being sniped through the oppressive cyberpunk fog of doom from across the level by a mook with an anti-materiel rifle. Later updates gave AI reaction times, and proper line-of-sight detection.

In Starcraft, the AI is aware of everything on the map, even if it can't actually target it (cloaked units, units or buildings out of sight, etc). Even then though, they can still sometimes target them. In Brood War, for example, if you're up against a Protoss AI and they have Dark Archons or High Templar, don't be surprised if one of them suddenly wanders out of their base... they have a specific target in mind and they're going for it, or die trying.
Terran AI always places their Comsat Scans at the exact location of your invisible units. To be fair though, it doesn't exploit its knowledge until you give it a reason to "notice" the unit, so the AI is actually doing less than a human could: stealthed units are visible to players themselves, as they blur the area they move through. Many Observers, Ghosts and Wraiths got revealed by a scan of an observant player.
Playing against a human in StarCraft, you can hide tech buildings in a random corner of the map where no sane player would look until he/she noticed the buildings not in your base (Which in of itself, is easily preventable); on the other hand, there's no point in hiding tech buildings from the computer. You're better off putting your entire tech tree in the back of your main base, behind your army and possible stationary defenses; ironically enough, a tactic that doesn't work against humans. (Humans just simply fly over your army and defenses and go straight for important buildings, the computer attacks the first thing it comes across.)
The computer will always go for your least defended base without seeming to even know where it is before the attack.
The AI will always know which of your transports have loaded units and prioritize them. This also prevents the Protoss ability "hallucination". An example here at 24:51.

Rimworld has similar pathfinding AI to Dwarf Fortress, in the sense that raiding parties always know where your own colonists and/or most valuable stores can be found and move towards the nearest ones automatically, but the AI storyeller can take this even further and send "smart" raiders who will actively avoid pathing into range of your turrets. This was added specifically to counter an exploit whereby players would deliberately leave an opening in the perimeter wall and use it to bait enemy attackers into a killbox.

In Unreal Tournament, A.I.s know when and where double damage and other valuable powerups spawn and will go for them immediately. In certain matches, this effectively means that you're forced into a metagame that revolves around continually monitoring those spots unless you enjoy facing enemies with a constant advantage on you. Good players often behave this way, too, which the AI is presumably designed to mimic.

If you cause an explosion or some loud noise in Dying Light, a fast zombie will literally burst out of nowhere and zero in on you, even if you're miles away from the explosion point, or dozens of feet above them. Note that the Volatiles, which hunt you down during the night aren't that good and will even lose track of you if you get away.

The Supreme Commander AI doesn't need radars or radar-equipped units to spot a cloaked ACU and blow it to hell with two tactical missiles (which aren't even homing, yet the AI always hits dead-on).

Medal of Honor. This rears its ugly head in the Command Post, where the guards will clairvoyantly detect you sneaking in and sound the alarm (especially on Hard difficulty), and in Sniper Town, where the snipers have greater visual range than you and will instantly hit you the moment you step into their line of sight, and enemies in general will accurately chuck grenades from places where they shouldn't be able to see you. And once you tip off a guard in a Stealth-Based Mission, all the enemies in the level know it.
