haven't played in years, is it possible to still win money?

I imagine now there should be lots of AI software to calculate optimum play so how can you tell if people are using software or not, because as there is big money on the table I imagine everyone would use it

If you know everyone is using some sort of software that makes them play "optimally" all of the time, then you also know that nobody has an edge over anyone else, everyone loses to rake, and the games don't run

"Most people are not cheating". So what percentage would you say are cheating?

I don't know, but the games are beatable and as far as I can tell, on major trusted sites cheaters would be a small minority
