When I hear that someone cheated in a videogame I think about using external software. When I hear that someone boosted in a videogame I think about account sharing. Maybe that's just me, idk.

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.

Here's what ChatGPT says (and I fully agree with it):

In PoE 2, cheating involves breaking rules with unauthorized tools or exploits, while boosting is getting help from stronger players. Boosting isn’t cheating unless it involves exploits or paid services that violate the game’s rules.

Cheating would be if he used external software to modify the game state/gained knowledge about the game state he wasn't supposed to have.

Well, I wasn't trying to be dishonest. I just like my facts correct. If that makes you happy, downvote all you want.

If you think I'm defending him for boosting and account sharing - you are simply wrong. I just want the facts to be correct. Maybe it's going over peoples heads cause I'm autistic (I think) or something idk.

No one is arguing that it isn't dishonest. NO ONE.

I'm just arguing that cheating is a different thing than boosting/account sharing. I'm not even arguing which is worse. I sometimes wonder if people can even read. I just corrected the terminology and BAM 14 dislikes. SO dumb.
