Is the AI completely unable to play competently as Ogres?

I know the AI plays pretty poorly in general in terms of campaign map choices, but are they completely borked as Ogres? I've noticed every Ogre faction always gets totally trampled, and I've never seen an ogre camp that was remotely defended, and a suspect not remotely developed either. Does the AI not know how to utilize camps, or what's happening there?

Offhand, I also don't think I've ever allied with ogres and had access to any high-tier units from allied recruitment, even at tier 3 outpost when I should have access to their global recruitment pool. Does this pool actually include their units from camps, or no? Or is it including it but Ogres camps are getting destroyed so often they never get high tier units?
