We have watched online gaming become extremely popular among all ages and generations but with the onset of online gaming those playing behind a computer screen we’ve seen an influx of online cheating. Well online gaming is amazing because you can connect with people all over the world. There is a level of Integrity that seems to go missing with this virtual gameplay option and ChatGPT is here to help detect and ban cheaters in online games. 

Game developers have continuously tried to find new ways to detect online cheaters which ends up Banning people that weren’t really cheating but fit a criteria of labels that the developer put into the game system to try to weed out those that are hacking the system and not playing fairly. 

As time has gone on though game developers can now harness the power of AI technology such as the use of ChatGPT within their online gameplay to help people feel more comfortable playing and know that artificial intelligence has their backs to ban the online cheaters and those taking advantage of this virtual gameplay option. 

Artificially intelligent game systems are an unpredictable way to help online cheaters be detected.  Since the system works on machine learning natural language processing it isn’t a program that cheaters can easily decipher and get around to the system much like older models of gameplay options where cheaters could easily find the predictable components of cheat systems and learn how to overcome them. 

If a game developer is using non-ai-driven software to detect online cheaters then they are using a predictive model that is something a human being could figure out if they were so inclined to take the time to learn the coding.  ChatGPT or other AI derived at cheat systems are actually something that becomes less predictable because it is created by AI not a human being and thus it’s very difficult for a human being to find the cheat code so to speak to continue to cheat in online games in any way that can override an AI derived cheater detection system. 

As time goes on artificial intelligence will continue to understand pattern driven components to online cheaters which allows them to continuously be very active in banning actual cheaters and hackers of their online games.  This means that the people that are playing the games honestly will feel more compelled to utilize games that are accessing this type of cheat code system because they know that the accuracy of getting rid of cheaters will be more successful than those online games that are not harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. 

The cool thing about AI technology as a cheat code system is that it can continuously learn how online cheaters are showing up and what their patterns of behavior are.  you see human beings have patterns specific to their nature which is easily detected by artificial intelligence more so than a human developed coding system. 

This is because human beings may be predictable but they are different in their predictability so as soon as a non-ai-driven cheat code system is determined the player can change their pattern of behavior to override that detection and thus go completely undetected in the online gaming environment.   Artificial intelligence is completely changing the game for both cheaters and non-cheaters alike. 

How does AI detection of online gaming cheaters work? 

You’re probably wondering how ChatGPT can detect online cheaters within online game play. We can understand the curiosity because this technology is not very new but a lot more people are being introduced to it because it’s being utilized in new and far-reaching ways such as in the online gaming world. 

As of right now it seems like AI-powered moderation technology is  the best way that people are starting to use this technology within their online gaming systems.  This means that the AI has basic programming from the human being to look for certain keywords or behavioral patterns or even keystrokes that are often  associated with online cheaters. 

As we said before in this article human behavior does have some sort of pattern to it regardless of who you are.  This means the ai-powered moderation is able to utilize the patterns of human beings and then adjust the programming based on the online gameplay to help them moderate and ban users who are actually cheating within the game. 

The action the AI moderation often takes is to shadow ban a cheater or two completely remove them from access to the game forever or for a certain period of time.  The way that AI will determine someone’s online cheating status and what they do from there will vary from online gameplay to online gameplay because it is up to the game developer to determine what level of access they will give this AI moderation software to their online game systems. 

As time goes on AI-powered moderation will have to advance but the cool thing about this technology is that it doesn’t need a human developer to come in all of the times to update it this technology will naturally update on its own as hackers get smarter and more intelligent and find new ways to beat the system so to speak.
