> this applies to every single game But it did not used to apply for every single game. In fact in Go it was famously true just a few years ago that the best humans were waay waay better than even the best computers. At uni I hung out with Go players and they had all kind of theories why Go is particularly hard for computers. Some of them well quite well reasoned, and some were just a bunch of magical thinking. What was not in doubt is that even at that admitedly medium level the players were better than the computers they had access to. Just a few years ago it went from “we are competing to be the best Go players period” to “we are competing to be the best human Go players”. That is a change in mindset, and it seems at least for that one particular player they couldn’t make the change. Imagine that you grew up in a world where aimbots are just worse than mediocre players, always. And you build up your personal motivations with this fact. And then suddenly the aimbots get better than even the best players. Some systems of motivation will crumble when this happens. Some will manage to adapt. This is just how it is.
