~ Personally I think that if at some point a gambler develops an AI like this and eventually they get banned by casinos due to the edge they get, eventually this software may make it to the hands of gamblers all over the world, and if that is the case then you will find yourself at a massive disadvantage, compared to those which are willing to use such tool.

How can you ban something like this? Although, maybe we see how to use AI to predict outcomes differently? I see it like this. You promt it to search for the needed info, like injuries of the main players, health and legal issues, their probable replacement, everything that affect the outcome of the game, and then you ask whether making a bet with a certain odds makes sense, right? And you either accept its advice or you don't. How can you ban such an adviser?

In this matter, I mean if you'll going to use the power of AI in this manner then there's no way that it will be ban, and probably this is a good use of an AI system requesting access or information with the details regarding to what are the current stats and the injury list of certain teams or what are the information regarding the overall performances of each individual or players that you are aiming to place your bet.

And on that last note regarding to whether to follow the recommendation or not, it's still you that in control so there's nothing that I can see that it will be ban, still human knowledge but with the help of AI to provide additional information.

That's how we use advanced technological tools: we must always have the last word, right? The machines can help us, but we should never rely on them completely.

While on the surface it may seem that it is impossible to catch a gambler making use of such technology, I have no doubts casinos could develop a way to do so.

For example they have the data of tens of thousands of users on their servers, then they could develop a statistical model which indicates which users are not using such tool and which users are suspicious of doing so, and we have something similar to this already, when ChatGPT was developed many feared that students will cheat to write their reports, but soon enough tools were developed to catch the cheaters, and I suppose a similar tool could be developed for a gambling AI.

Submitting a text written by AI and using AI to help you decide whether to bet with particular odds or not are two different things. In the case of sports betting you don't have to provide the description of the process or something like that, you just make your bet, that's all. There's basically nothing to analyze except the size of your bet and the result. The tool you are talking about is impossible to make
imo. But that's not the point. In sports betting it is not forbidden to use an advice from your friend, right? And I don't see how it's different from the advice from AI.
