There is a way for players to make their own announcements.
I didn’t lose – I won a different hand but instead of going all in, I raised and bet and dragged a bunch of sheep with me to the show at the end.
But no way I’m going to be able to deal with the guilt of burning time playing Facebook poker and then add to that time to correct the automated pronouncements of my status.

Second –
I did quit while I was ahead, but I don’t always. Or at least, I haven’t always. Even though I know it’s the intelligent move. Personally- I have identified two things about myself playing poker (neither of which I should reveal, both of which I’m sure a decent player would figure out playing with me one time.) I get impatient and tired and don’t care whether I win or lose. Tough to bet smart against that. Second, my only tell (that I can observe) is that as I get tired and impatient- I bet more and more “traditionally” smart. Yes- I seriously intend to be somewhat random when I can pay attention.

And then on to the real point- reading this you can’t know that a bot didn’t write it. You can claim it’s me- butyou can’t tell. Now- I say this knowing that I was one of the King/Bachman fans that challenged Bachman with accusations of really being King because I can tellt he”voice” of a writer. But no one reading this knows my writing well enough. Maybe.
But what if I’ve been a bot all along?

As for pilots- I’ve flown fast moving jets with 1960′s era autopilot technology. And I can state with certainty the only reason we don’t have auto piloted planes (and buses and taxis and other conveyances) is we’re afraid to give in. And those so employed don’t like it. (The Air Force, for example, is run mostly by pilots.)

No reason a decent GPS and some reasonable sensor technology wouldn’t be as safe as a human operator. Safer most of the time.

We already have bet computers can run some important things better than us. The trains at Dallas Ft Worth Airport. Most major financial traders. I don’t think WOPPR has taken over the launch codes yet- but certainly something equivalent determines the inbound threat and the corresponding defense posture. The grid, which could get even better if we let it.
