Detection isn't really the issue, or at least not the interesting one. Bots will always exist and be undetectable. The question, for me, is whether their evolution will kill online poker or not. Put differently: as more bots appear, will their most profitable strategy converge to an Ankenman-ish unexploitable one, or will they be constantly cutting each other's throats (leaving their own throats exposed), or some function fluctuating between those?

Now that's interesting.
