Will AI and 'Real-Time Assistance' (RTA) eventually kill online poker?

[KLEBE7]

As someone who works in tech, I see how fast AI is moving. Do you think sites are doing enough to catch 'bots,' or will we eventually all have to move back to Live Poker to ensure a fair game?

There are behavioral checks run by poker sites, those will improve as well and eventually keep pace with any bot.

Poker rooms don't try really to make players stop using [else tools. At least not the sharks , the pros . Maybe [brt stop the very little fish . Poker is >impossible to beat nowadays with all these AI tools and assistance .

poker online is already dead, because the poker sites themselves cheat and rigg the RNG.
Nobody trusts poker anymore, it was dead long before AI arrived.
That's is why Poker is currently a very small bubble at any social network, and it will continue to be this pathetic and mediocre bubble. Because that's what poker site's owners decided to do with it. Their greed couldn't wait for the ecosystem to grow as it should have if people could trust it.

People saw Pokerstar get ruined and abandoned because of their manipulation, and what did they learn from it? Did they build more fair and robust RNGs? No. Nope... Never.

They've just made cheating harder to detect, that's all. Now they won't allow you to download your hands anymore kkkkk That's progress right kkkkk

Sites are improving bot detection, but it’s still an ongoing battle. They use behavior analysis, timing patterns, and AI tools to flag suspicious play, and many accounts do get banned. At the same time, bots are becoming more sophisticated, so it’s a constant arms race. I don’t think players will fully move back to live poker, but online games will likely become more regulated and monitored. Live poker will always feel safer, but online isn’t going anywhere it will just keep evolving.

Yes, though I agree with the post which says this problem was already present before AI

Could you elaborate on what happened to pokerstars? I was away from online poker between 21-25, but was big into stars before then

Online poker is dead because the rake is sucking the blood out of the game . RTA makes it way worse .

You're a freeroll player. And because of it, you get to play those fun 'freerolls' where you get 6 players to a hand, calling preflop with any two cards. How would you even have a clue about a site's RNG when you're only experiencing them from a freeroller's perspective?
