Boosting isn’t cheating unless it involves exploits or paid services that violate the game’s rules.

So you agree that paying someone to boost your account is cheating?

I believe ChatGPT was referring to buying cheating software when it said "paid services". It may have lost that part of the response when I forced it to condense it into 2 sentences.

You can't even get the idiot AI to agree with you on this, but you're still going for it. And that thing will agree with whatever you tell it if you argue long enough.

Alright, you won cheating = boosting. Are you happy now?

He was boosting and account sharing. We don't have the evidence that he was cheating. Both bad. Just not the same thing.

SIKE! You didn't win! I still believe cheating is different than boosting.
