you don’t actually know that you would have continued playing that game

yes, that's kind of my point. With this feature it'd be more likely that I would. I don't play games for the boss fights, but even story-driven ones have them at times. They're more of a nuisance to me.

At that point a cheat code to enable godmode achieves the same purpose and still gives you player agency, unlike an AI taking over. Or just an accessibility option to skip boss fights. We really don't need to reinvent the wheel here with AI.
