My not particularly informed view is it wouldn't be great. Overfitting would be the biggest problem, as well as the fact that people design trading software specifically to exploit other trading bots these days.

On the plus side, less human input in trading software may greatly reduce human biases which make us suck at trading.

I figured modern ML would be the first thing firms use for that purpose. Might be interesting though with bots trying to learn the behavior of their counterparts and vice versa. The ensuing feedback loops are probably quite interesting.
