If you work in the software development industry and stay updated with the latest trends, you have probably heard about AI by now. And not just chatbots.

I am thinking of those systems which you install on your computer. And you interact with them via writing or voice and they perform some actions.

While the current systems are at their initial iterations, it is quite easy to imagine advancements that come with time.

So, I can imagine a future where an AI tool will "watch" you as you play a game. Then it will offer suggestions. It will start with basic things. Easy and innocent. Like suggesting which items to use for your Diablo 4 character from the ones you have in your inventory.

Then, it will propose steps such as "go to this locations" and get this and that.

Then, it will go one step further. Instead of recommending you an item to equip, there will be an "auto-equip" feature.

And then things will get even more automated, and we will arrive in the realm of "is this cheating or not?".

Think about it for a second. Having an AI system that essentially plays the game for you.

But, where is the fun in that? You might ask. It's not. But what happens in a multiplayer game? What happens if there is something at stake?

Diablo 4 was an easy example. Think about game tournaments. Think about online poker or similar games.

Who knows what the future holds?
