Artificial Intelligence in Poker: A Fair Game?

Technology and poker have been linked for years, with innovations like card shufflers and even online poker sites changing the game. But one advancement, poker bots, is raising some eyebrows. Powered by machine learning, these bots can analyze millions of hands and adapt their strategies to outwit human players. AI like Deepstack and Pluribus have already proven their skills in controlled events, but cheaters are using similar bots to steal money from unsuspecting online poker players. While these bots can also help train players, they're still a big problem for online poker sites that need to maintain fairness.Despite the sites' best efforts, some bots still slip through, making the game tougher for real players. Moreover, as AI becomes more sophisticated, detecting these bots is getting harder. They're even learning to mimic human behavior, blurring the lines between real and artificial competition. In the world of poker, it's increasingly difficult to tell who's sitting at the table.
