I think someday, almost all aimbots will be undetectable by anti-cheat systems.

Thanks to the neural network, we have made enormous progress in the computer vision domain. As a byproduct, it invalidates the method we use to separate machines from humans (the image-based CAPTCHAs).

I guess aimbots will switch to CV-based systems to detect enemies rather than dumping game memory to find the enemy's position. This change will force anti-cheat systems to perform an automated Turing test, which is hard. (Telling the bot and human apart only by watching the replay is much more challenging compared to the above CAPTCHA problem. And we are currently losing at the CAPTCHA frontline, too.)
