When played, Torturer offers the opponent two choices: discard 2 cards, or take a curse. The official rules for the card specify that, even when the curse pile is empty, the opponent may choose to take a curse, and take nothing. They are not forced to discard. There is either a problem with what options are being allowed here in that circumstance, or there is a serious AI problem, because when I have chained torturers together, and the curse pile is empty, the bot opponent invariably discards all of the cards. This has made for some amazing blow-out games, but it's not how torturer is actually supposed to work. Or else the bots are just dumb?
The bots are just dumb.
Yeah, I just checked it again, and even with a full pile of curses, the bot will invariably choose to discard their entire hand. This strikes me as not . . . smart gameplay.

The bot always chooses discard option.
It does the same for vault discarding as well.
