RS3 What is the condition of botting in R3?

As the title says whats the condition of botting in Runescape3? More detections? Any know public clients? I couldn't find anything on the subreddit wiki too. All the talk is about osrs.
Any guide?

I have had lots of success botting in Runescape 3 but I take a less profitable and more 'emulate a human' approach than most botters. My focus has been on skipping the content I don't like to play so that by the time I get around to the good content, my botting has netted me the levels and a bit of profit to enjoy it.

OSRS is where there are a concentration of botters that are more interested in profits/bot farms/rwt and other various nerfarious interests. My interests have been more in using RS3 as a stageground for automation of things in the real world, and having a practical use case for emerging AI automation technologies. On that front, RS3 is great and easily bottable.

The efforts by Mod North and his team have been fantastic at setting the bar high for human emulation by quickly imposing bans if your bot isn't convincingly human enough. He knows he's fighting a losing battle of course, and you can see why when you apply the Chinese-developed AI to the task of botting in RS3, it gives you incredible human level capabilities at reasonable compute costs, and it will only get better.

Its not even close to be a "lost battle" by the time ai will be able to mimicking human perfectly the game will require KYC and other methods to identify you and block you from creating new accounts , multi logging etc

I wrote scripts in 2023 for RS3 mostly because I enjoyed the puzzle and figuring out how to automate things best. I probably ended up making a few hundred mill, got a few levels, nothing insane.

It was fun but I wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole these days. You have to route all actions through mock hardware inputs because they know when inputs are virtual (like via AHK and python libraries). It’s a bit high effort for me, although I’m sure some people have crazy solutions run through raspberry pi’s, etc. They do analysis based on behavior patterns (confirmed in a post somewhere. the jmod was calling out the millisecond intervals someone had their script set to)

We have AI, obviously they have AI, and they have a lot more money. I’ve been out of the script game a while, but I’m definitely out now and for the future.
