Why would I want AI to play the game other than for testing?

Botting just got a whole lot easier - now old bitcoin farmers can go back to currency farming in games. At least in game currency prices will drop.

Great,

And I’m guessing like all gen AI, it would be mediocre at best and never reach the top players.

Now all they need is a way to turn mediocre gameplay into money, surely that part would be easy

Also, I don’t think they could use it for testing as there could be plenty of false positive or negatives.

Apart from games, where this can also be used for more capabable and behaviourally more "interesting" NPCs (including computer opponents or teammates), the used techniques can be transferred to robotics. Quite a cool architecture.

I could see this being useful for those with disabilities like muscular dystrophy. Maybe let the AI handle repetitive, input-heavy parts and take over the gameplay at key moments so as to minimize muscle pain.

Ton of dead multiplayer games that don't have bots

This might be a legitimate use case... maybe. Depends on if it can learn games similar enough to humans. Which i doubt. Might be better to just code bot mods but idk, ai-players would be kinda cool. How long before we have to guess if a player is human, cheating, or a bot though?
