Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World

The modern day spoofing apps are really quite impressive. Teleportation or time travelling generally gets you an account strike fairly quickly, but some of the cleverer automatic walking functions are really quite cool.

I got sick of being careful and definitely got banned, but it wasn’t hard to fake well as long as you are patient

Yeah, a bit of sense is all you need. I’ve not used spoofing tools but a few of my friends have - we live rural too and it revolutionises the game. Even our local small city centre isn’t really raid friendly - it’s not like you can hang a out Times Square and literally walk into a full raid whenever you like.
That said, the weekly Pokémon Club in rural areas is a great social, and mons tend to stay in gyms for more than twelve seconds making it a bit easier to get pokecoins. The game is still heavily skewed towards city centres though.
