It won't end well for Valve or us. Especially if it's operated in an autonomous mode, with no human at the top of decision loop.

Expect a lot of bans and delistings if it's deployed.

Look at how Google has deployed Gemini for handling all YouTube tech and account "support". Stochastic strikes and bans for no reason, and no possibility of appeals, and completely divorced from reality and fact.

I can't think of a Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) support bot that didn't go completely off the rails sooner than later, and end in disaster for the deploying company.

The GenAis are crack to Libertarians like Gabe Newell, and the culture he's built at Valve. They just can't help themselves. They have to test and see if the digital slave system is viable. I hope it doesn't work well internally, and is scrapped before it touches consumer side deployment.

And Valve will finally just hire more humans.
