Funny: What is the "wife" doing here?
We are a couple of people playing usually mixed AI-multiplayer games on large maps. My wife is quite experienced in civ and civ 6 with 1000s hours of playtime and really hard to battle. And you guess it: she often use the builder as a scout

Its great fun to meet a builder on unknown continents. She also use great persons to explore just to get the little piece of advantage by getting the world early uncovered.
Some people argue the AI is "stupid". Of course a AI cant be intelligent. But it is funny to see the AI do the same stupid things (maybe randomly) as human players do.
For me - i use never the builder as a scout. I need every charge in the early game. And later in game its not necessary. But my "fault" is to send unprotected settlers - but with enough experience you will know when and when not.
