    Serious question: How does EVE survive the arrival of AI?

      EVE has been combating bots for years, optimal gameplay is often relatively simple to automate. I’m not sure they’ll be all that disruptive.

      (and the time it would take to implement data collection for a learning model is unlikely to be spent by anyone, for how much effort it would be considering the questionable gains over ‘dumb’ bots)

        I haven’t played in nearly a decade, but it used to be an open secret that the Eve economy wouldn’t function without high sec bot miners flooding the market with tritanium.

      You really don’t need any AI (assuming you mean LLMs like ChatGPT) to bot the shit out of Eve - the way the game fundamentally functions makes it dead simple to bot (it’s not like WoW where you have to deal with pathfinding or positioning for combat) - you could write a mining bot in a weekend, and it’s dead hard to catch because “normal” mining basically looks indistinguishable from botting
