| Your comment was dead for some reason. I’ve vouched for it. I believe that games that are purely competition of reflexes are inherently unfair. Bots are merely exposing this unfairness because they can reliably beat all kind of animals, but it exists in humans as well. But here’s the thing - I don’t understand cheating in this kind of games (besides people being willingly toxic). It’s no fun at all, you just win and that’s it. There is zero competition. So, yea, you’re right it doesn’t make sense to give bot copilots in such games. Their time will come to an end when humans will learn to enhance their reflexes, until they they’ll be probably the last kind of games to keep the “no bots” flame alive. Please notice a difference between toxic people who want to trump everyone, and normal people who want to improve their lives by using technology because they have skills for that (money is a tricky thing - I need to think about it more). Today they’re all pushed into the same ostracized group, called “cheaters”. > Let’s rewrite the whole activity of gaming Yes - why not rewrite? Humanity had rewritten various principles quite a number of times, and continues to do so. The time for games will come soon (not exactly yet, but it’s rapidly approaching and we can see the first signs). A bot is just a machine (we don’t have GAI and it’s still an unanswered question if we will anytime soon). If the game is truly complex in a good way (LoL surely is not too bad in this regard) - it won’t auto-win it for a human, it will merely remove the routine and grind, exposing the true mechanics, exposing the ultimate meta. |
