Honestly, this one makes me uneasy. I’ve always been kind of scared of blackjack and casino games—too many gamblers in my family—so the idea of AI predicting and exploiting weaknesses hits close to home. Aren’t there regulations to stop casinos from pushing players too far? Where’s the line between giving the house an advantage and straight-up manipulating people?
And here’s the other side—would players even want that? Would AI make the game more addictive and exciting, or would it kill the fun once people realized they were basically playing against a machine that knows how to break them? If AI can already be used to spot card counters, what’s really stopping it from being turned against regular players too?
So would this be the future of fun—or the end of fair play?
I think I need a hug lol ♥️♥️

You're talking about online casinos here (only). I don't know if she was including live ones too or not. In which case, what she's saying would only be possible if they introduce robots dealers. And if they do, I'm not sure people are stupid enough to play at tables with Humanoids dealing.
They have tested how well dealerless tables do vs tables with dealers, and they tables with people dealing are greatly preferred.
I think they will stick with dealers for a while accept for in jurisdictions that dont allow physical cards, and things like charities events that don't want to worry about hiring a dealer.
But I think the casinos are using AI to exploit players already. They use AI in player tracking and marketing, they use AI in game designs, and they use AI to help identify problem gamblers. Its debatable on whether they identify problem gamblers to help or hurt them.

definitely more addictive. if they start using algorithms to adjust bonus offers or table limits right when you're tilted or about to walk, people are gonna end up staying way longer than they planned. basically sports betting apps already do this.
Some advanced AI tools can track patterns during play—especially in skill-based games—to provide instant recommendations. For example, in poker, an AI assistant can track betting patterns and identify potential bluffs.Artificial intelligence is like a super-smart assistant that never sleeps, constantly crunching numbers, and spotting trends the human eye might miss. It's changing every aspect of casino operations: from predicting player behavior to optimizing game layouts on the casino floor.
Now you should have a better understanding of how machine learning is used to support real-life decision-making. Situations where players' hands are worth 12 to 16 points (in this case, the probability of busting with the next card is highest) and the dealer shows a high card are especially dangerous.
I think this would harm the casino itself first of all. Casino games are designed in such a way that the casino always has an advantage. If the casino also starts using AI, then this will be another significant advantage in favor of the casino. As a result, casinos will start to lose people's trust, that is, they will start to lose customers.
we are talking about blackjack ! the rules the dealer follows are set ( as others have noted ) so AI is meaningless . if you are suggesting a casino , real or online , is manipulating the shuffle and deal that's an entirely different issue . that kind of cheating may well occur in house games or underground clubs .
I think it could make the game more engaging, but also more concerning. If AI can identify a player's weaknesses and use them to encourage more betting, the casino would have a very powerful advantage beyond the normal house edge. I’d be much more comfortable with AI being used to protect players rather than exploit them.
