But once in awhile, even the top pro players fall victim to mental fatigue, or the human requirement to blink occasionally. Computers, on the other hand, are unflappable when it comes to technical performance, and they’re learning how to play games at an alarming rate. But should we allow AI agents to augment the abilities of human opponents in esport tournaments, or would they eventually squash us mere mortals and ruin the sport?
