Is Botting Ruining the Economy?
An interesting thread appeared over the forums of r/worldpvp about recent developments of using AI to read the screen and provide automatic feedback..

Take a look a Google's new research paper on SIMA: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/sima-generalist-ai-agent-for-3d-virtual-environments/
The most important quote from the article:
«Our AI agent doesn’t need access to a game's source code, nor bespoke APIs. It requires just two inputs: the images on screen, and simple, natural-language instructions provided by the user. SIMA uses keyboard and mouse outputs to control the games’ central character to carry out these instructions. This simple interface is what humans use, meaning SIMA can potentially interact with any virtual environment. „
It won't be long before solutions like this are out in the open and undetectable versions begin to pop up. Since SIMA actually plays the game by looking at the screen and entering keyboard and mouse inputs it will look like human behavior. At first it will be rudimentary… but gains in the next 3-5 years will completely change gaming. This isnt publically available for now, but competition will come.
