I've played online games before where the entire point was to write a bot to play the game for you; I don't know what the genre is called, but there've been a few of them over the years. The game is essentially just an API and the efficiency and complexity of your self-written bot determines your success or failure. It's fun.

This is functionally that, except... you... don't write the bot yourself. So... what the fuck is the point? Like, seriously. I'm not judging you - if this interests you, I would be legitimately interested to hear what the appeal is.
