This prediction flies in the face of the historical evidence of technical progress. It was actually inevitable that players would move away from exploitable play and towards whatever is harder to beat.
Exploitative/exploitable poker has been superseded by more theoretically sound poker, because players learned how to
prevent exploitative plays working against them. In more simple terms -
they got better at poker. In the future, the endbosses aren't going to get worse. They will get better and better, meaning they play closer and closer to optimal solutions.
To use the tired old chess analogy, you can't beat a 'GTO' chess bot (or a Grandmaster) by doing something 'exploitative' or sub-optimal. You'll just lose. The same applies to poker. Exploitative/unbalanced players are on the way out. Their tricks don't work against regs, and there aren't enough fish to keep them alive. Indeed, the "anti-GTO" brigade have themselves become the fish.
It's true that the rise of "GTO play" means it's getting harder and harder to make money at poker, but that's to be expected. If players get better at something, you lose your edge. But trying to turn the clock back to the time before solvers and training sites existed isn't possible, and the idea that exploitation will be the foundation of a "
new poker world" is delusional, frankly.
