Reading another post, it crossed my mind that AIs and particularly ChatGPT could potentially be trained with a large samples of games played by poker champions and then put it to auto-play with amateur on-line players. If this is successful, it could mean the end of human on-line poker playing except perhaps for the world masters and the like. Has anyone tried? Would it be possible??
I haven't used ChatGPT myself and don't know how it could be used in a gambling setup.
The way gambler use Chatgpt is simply asking for an advice for a probable steps that will increase the chance of winnings or decrease the losses.
There are also thousands of TV footage over the years from big tournaments that could be used to feed the AI with data. One question would be what kind of computer do you need for the AI to analyse so much data. On my old machine this would probably take a lifetime. Maybe NASA can offer us some supercomputers to run the data. As long as the AI can read the life gameplay data it could give us some strategy on how to play.
I do not think you need to run a supercomputer to have a reasonable amount of time for the AI to respond. Al just need is a huge chunk storage where data and information can be stored. Processing information isn't that slow since most of the computers today are fast enough for data processing, you can see how interenet provides us with answers and links in seconds whenever we search something.
But as most of the big tournaments are being played offline, I don't see any risk of AI taking over here.
There has been TV coverage of poker tournaments for more than 30 years, they have a lot of security in place so that people don't cheat. Even with the best strategy there is still randomness involved in poker, the AI doesn't know the exact cards of our opponents and therefore can't give us a 100% winning strategy. To a certain extent there will always be luck involved in poker.
I agree, AI cannot give us precise advice, I used chatgpt and asked AI what to move next, what it does is to tell whether my set of cards is strong or weak and advise accordingly. It tells you to fold when the card in hand is relatively weak and increase bet size if it is strong. ChatGPT also gives a situational possiblity of the opponent's card in hand according to the given flops. Most of the decision is made by the player, ChatGPT only give possible situations and the strength of the card in hand.
