Something something Skynet.
Basically, if the AI played BETTER, you would probably never play higher difficulty Civilization. You would simply always lose.
Civ is not chess. Different civs have different strengths, and the randomly generated maps can be great for you or tough for you depending on resources available.
Imagine if the AI used all the bull****tery that humans currently use to win on Deity, or even if the AI simply KNEW about it.
Imagine diplomacy if every AI was truly out to win the game and truly knew the consequences of their decisions. Why, yes, Mr. Player, you can have my Iron to upgrade your fleet of Galleas into Frigates for the low low price of ELEVENTY MILLION GOLD -- and your 2nd and 3rd largest cities.

Cliffs: It'll never happen. If you want brutal defeat at the hands of intelligent opponents, you need to get into Multiplayer Civ.
