We're already there! See hardware like the EvilController or the ConsoleTuner Titan

It doesn't seem those take the game output into account, maybe I missed something but they just seems to be controllers with scripting capabilities.

The idea of a decoupled cheat would be to acquire the game state from outside the computer running it, either by filming the screen or taping into the video output or the network input, then analyze it and run some aimbot (or any other kind of cheat) on it and finally send the cheat commands as if it came from a legitimate controller, through usb.
