We're probably zero years away for people making mass market cheat hardware for online games. I know such things have existed black market forever, but this is exactly what they'll do; they'll say "it's using predictive AI!" or someshit when really it's just cheating.

I'm honestly pumped to see the war between mass market cheat hardware and game companies. It's gonna be a blast and the only people who lose are gamers

yeah it seems like the point is probably to try and make cheats built into the hardware itself so that it's hard to detect by game developers. like how many cheats have tell-tale signs. capitalism and gamer-gulag have created a game cheating arms race

hardware cheats have existed for a while, but they're really rare because you only really want nearly undetectable shit like that when playing in view of others

ironically ML algs could be one of the better methods for detection in terms of mechanical cheats
