I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop (www.pcgamer.com)

You mean machine learning algorithms (or just "AI"), not Large Language Models. LLMs are just advanced word prediction machines; they're categorically incapable of detecting cheating in a game.

But, yeah. It would totally make sense to have server-side detection for things like:

Consistency with performance (no changes over time within or sessions with reaction time, for example)
Behaviour changes depending whether there is vs. isn't someone around a corner, particularly in areas with long sight lines so footstep sounds wouldn't trigger
Inhumanly quick reaction times, with consistency (e.g. < 100ms reaction times — 101 ms is the world record)

etc.

Sure, people could still have cheats help tweak inputs, a bit, like "gentle" headshot aiming assistance, but it would catch egregious cheaters.
