Automation is destroying Chess online

Would everyone here quit playing Live Chess if you knew that the majority of the accounts that you are facing are Automated?

Just curious...  

This post gonna be locked

Most of the players are honest but there is a small percentage that their movements are very suspicious. I have noticed that

There is a program called hiarcs, and on that website you will find a Forum, where you can discuss stuff like you mentioned, hiarcs is a depot for all chess bots, some which can adjust to the ways a 1200 or a 1500 etc.. would play

hiarcs.net I think 

Why?  Automation is a given.

Every major site faces automation issues.   It's really how the site handles it.

Some people prefer playing bots like the Hikaru bot or the Beverly Harmon bot which are provided for by the site operators

I'm just wondering if players or members would be continue playing Live Chess if the number of automated accounts suddenly became the majority online?

It's very possible.  Think about it.  A Computer can self-generate an infinite number of times & each time, it will incarnate as a form of itself that is likely much stronger than ordinary human players.  And the automated accounts will never tire or get discouraged while human players get frustrated easily and take breaks   

I dont think that they are overwhelmed by automation yet.

I do believe that the time could come when there are more automated accounts online in general.  Take social media platforms for example.  No one would know whether most of the accounts that they are chatting with online are real or fake  

But I digress...  its a legitimate question having nothing to do with fair play issues etc...  would you personally be in favor of continuing to compete if you knew that the accounts that you were playing were automated?
