   I wonder what this will do to the shady gold farming industry.

      Nothing because the bots that have already been developed over the last 20 years are much more efficient

         I have a feeling the same sentiment will ring true across most of the software industry in the next couple years. LLMs are cool, but they don't perform better than purpose built solutions at scale.

            I disagree. It works with the wow gold farmers because there is a finite set of known states in a videogame. In real life I don't think that's the case.

               You can automate the first 3 or 4 nines the old-fashioned way. I guess you can escalate up to an LLM instead of directly to a human in the remainder of cases.
