This is a slippery slope which we can view in real-time looking at the speedrunning community. Many current real person runs are using strategies once thought to be computer-only. A Mario run from 2024 would be viewed as totally impossible in 2004.
- jwagenet 2y agoThis isn’t really a relevant concern for online games since speed running is mostly rehearsed play with predictable game mechanics, not inhuman response to novel stimulus.

- BlueTemplar 2y agoOf course a lot of people do them. They even do them with multiple teams in parallel, starting at the same time !
