How do you feel about "Random Personalities"?

I dont play with it often because I read online it can actually make some AI's do really bad by not making them use their special traits but if any of you out there who play with this all the time how do your games usually go?

I did try it a couple of times when I began playing Civ, but stopped after Shoshone built 30+ cities and had -700 gold per turn. Since he gets so much extra land when he builds a city, more than half the map belonged to him. Being new to the game, it was quite overwhelming to try and take on such a massive kingdom. The map looked very similar to when I did a lol-game with Ghandi and created 150 cities on one map.

Bismarck usually dumps cities over every resource by the time he gets an ideology, so I am guessing Shoshone took on that personality. Bismarck with his 15 cities were much easier to deal with though, since they were spread out. Shoshone had cities so tightly packed I am sure they could hit the same units simply from city combat.
