I've heard that people do.
There must be some way of preventing this, and the sites must have ways of detecting it when it is going on. I just wouldn't play for money if there was a chance the odds would be so heavliy stacked against me, and as such I dont. Free chips all the way!
Edit - I'd welcome others' views on this...

is it possible to make a living from playing online poker?
I sure wouldn't want to play in a serious money tournament where there are computer players!

It is possible to make A LOT of money playing poker online, however BEWARE.... only 7% of ppl playing online poker each year make a profit.
