Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat? (lemmy.world)

Playing complex strategy games for many years, one of the things that irks me the most is that hard AI levels often just give the dumb AI cheats to simulate it being smarter. To me, it's not very satisfying to go against cheating AI. Are any games today leveraging neural networks to supplant or augment hand-written decision tree based AI? Are any under development? I know AI can be resource intensive, but it seems that at least turn based games could employ it.

It would certainly be nice to have for the fighting games I play. A few have toyed with the idea of "shadow fighters", but it never really feels like playing against a person. It might get their habits down, but it doesn't replicate the adaptation of facing a person and having them change how they play based on how you're playing. If someone could crack that nut, everyone would have someone on their level to play against at any hour of the day, no matter how obscure the game is.
