this is already running in production for Counter-Strike since 2018 [0][1].

to be honest, it isn’t particularly good - all serious CS2 games operate on a third party provider with a kernel-level anti-cheat. also, the cs2 update banned people for spinning their mouse too fast [2].

Aimbots will just add delay and variance then. Guess its a bit fairer but if they're better than shroud level then it's still not great.

Which they do already, because slamming all of the aimbot settings to max is a fast track to getting mass reported and escalated to human review, which will immediately see what's going on. Any cheater with an ounce of desire to preserve their account is going to try and maintain the pretense that they're just very skilled, not impossibly skilled.

The cheat could just be tuned to play at the level of the best humans.
