Now I'm looking forward to these AI cheat devices. It's going to be hilarious if the kernel anticheat malware finally gets killed by AI aimbots of all things.

The term "AI" used in video games is not really related to the current LLM craze.

In what other ways could "AI cheat devices" and "uses AI for object detection and aimbotting" possibly be interpreted?

As a misunderstanding. The curenet high-end cheat devices use the PCIe bus to read main memory without relying on any AI. Since they also plug in to the HDMI port to overlay their information on top of the game screen, this might be misunderstood as them detecting objects in the video output.

But detecting objects in video also doesn't fall under the new definition of AI, which means LLMs and image diffusers.

The significantly increased capabilities of cheats if you can read/write memory and the dogshit that AI-oriented anticheat approaches continue producing (look at VACnet, though I am sure there are other companies producing better things like Anybrain - the thing is, 99% of the time the products of said companies are integrated along with a proper strong anticheat like EAC) will ensure kernel mode anticheats will be alive and well.
