Cheating with AI will be possible even with server side rendering ; nvidia has released models able to learn to play - it's going to be very difficult to detect whether it's an AI or a human ; very impressive however
That’s a very different kind of cheating though. The kind of cheating this effectively makes impossible is cheating where a player has more information than they’re intended to have.
If someone makes an AI that plays the game as a good player, then it’s effectively indistinguishable from a real player who is good. If they make it super-humanly good, then it would probably be detectable anyway.
It’s still fair in the sense that all players have the same (intended) information per the game rules.
I’m also curious if an AI could process the screen feed quickly enough to compete in first-person shooter games. Seems like it would be difficult without extremely high end hardware for the foreseeable future?
Thank you for educating me. How does OpenCV work from the perspective of recognizing things in an image? Is there some kind of underlying model there that learns what a target looks like or not?
There's already models specifically for things like identifying players in Counter-Strike 2, including which team they're on.
Someone has even rigged up a system like that to a TENS system to stimulate the nerves in their arm and hand to move the mouse in the correct direction and fire when the crosshair is over the enemy.
