The developers are doing their best at building AI based software for every purpose these days and poker is also in that list. I have seen some AI bots that are mostly into the field of poker and one of them is ruse AI. Another open source bot that has the ability to play poker is "Deep mind pokerbot," and the developer claims that the bot can automatically play GGPoker game. The best thing about this bot is its open-source nature and that means anyone can change the code according to their needs.
I don't think that traditional poker players will ever stop playing poker because of such AI bots. The traditional players are true fans of the game and they find it very entertaining, and when someone finds a game entertaining then he/she will never stop playing that game. They will continue playing the game but the problem they will have to face is AI against those legit players and which can result into hard competition for them. The greedy fellows will run those bots to earn a lot from poker and the legit players may lose some money if their tactics are weak against AI.
I think if the use of AI for gambling games has developed more advanced, casinos can offer a different form of gambling where later there will be fights between each AI or something like that. Meanwhile, the casino will also offer manual matches between traditional poker players so that will allow the casino to offer something different than before.
But for a robot, maybe in the future, there will be an AI that can think of finding ways to win but only look for ways to win and not think about anything else. So gamblers can use the robot while watching it without changing the codes. Well, the way to see the perfect AI is still very long and it is not certain when it will be released because the developers are still working on the development.
If you look at this year, AI is not as sophisticated as we think, even though it will take the next few years to see sophistication in gambling platforms, between AI vs. AI, of course, this cannot be separated from human touch and thought, therefore many say that AI is very dangerous if it gets smarter and misused in the future because it could disrupt the existing order.
I may not be too interested in using this technology even though it helps a little human work, but if it is used in gambling it is less interesting because basically gambling with our own minds and hands is more enjoyable than we leave it to AI to win and gamble for ourselves, after all nor can it be enjoyed by us as gamblers.
I agree AI is not as sophisticated as we think, but it will change in the next few years as developers are still working hard to make it happen. And it's true that if AI already has the ability to think, it can harm humans because it can take over jobs and daily human tasks or even make important decisions.
I'm still waiting for the development of AI for the field of gambling and for now, I still like playing gambling with what I've done as before. And it's true that we get pleasure and entertainment from what we do instead of using a device.
