The people that play Wii sports are not the same people that play professional sports. While I agree AI will be used to optimize routines, I highly doubt it will digress to the "I can play Wii tennis while laying down and only flicking my wrist" level. Nor do I think the "AI" sensors being used are as crude as a cheap, consumer focused Wii remote released over 15 years ago.
- rurp 3y ago> The people that play Wii sports are not the same people that play professional sports. Right, professional athletes will go to much greater lengths to exploit a scoring sytem if they can get an edge from it. The AI sensors might be much better than a Wii, but that won't fix the core problem because they will be studied and gamed much more diligently.

- mywittyname 3y agoWatch Olympic Sabre fencing. There's all kinds of wild flailing that people do in that sport. All that really counts is that the hit registers. So bunny hopping towards your opponent flailing that sabre wildly is a perfectly valid tactic.
