Before reading the article, I was thinking this meant people were using AI to record online classes than using the information to train LLMs on the information. Kind of like how Meta stole tons of academic books, journals, and research papers to train their chatbots and AI systems better: Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations
After reading this article, sounds like a classic scam. For those familiar with online poker in particular, people have long created bots that play on sites and make small amounts of money per bot. But unlike people they can play endlessly. Granted the bots are still mostly the older kinds and as such are designed to just make rake back( rewards back for play) and very passive low risk plays, not necessarily good at the game and they're not cheating (i.e. seeing other player cards, manipulating the poker game). But now with AI bots they'e even harder to detect or stop as they can learn how long to play before being flagged as a bot, table select better, and of course actually get better at the game which makes more money. Software such as "solvers" have been around for about 10 years for studying game theory optimal concepts in the game, and back then the bots couldn't really leverage that (and the cost to maintain hardware to do so was more than worth the money to make). But now AI bots can be trained on the solver outputs beforehand and come into the games playing near optimal strategy (I say near optimal because if it's perfect the sites software flags them as suspicious players using real time assistance (i.e. a human running a solver alongside the game or a bot playing solver perfect poker).
