Why would I want AI to play the game other than for testing?

But that’s cheating no? The challenge is playing the game using user input with all the delays and extra steps that can happen along the way.

Also, optimizing a neural network for just one narrow use case is not what’s being discussed here.

ML is very, very good at narrow use cases, same with other tools of automation going back a century, they are talking about generic all purpose ML

Of course it‘s „cheating“, this was a fun research project that came to mind.
