DMPCs, you mean? NPCs controlled by the DM, to direct the other NPCs?

Like people who write bots that entrap and manipulate other bots?

Now we're going too deep.

We're cave-diving in metaphors!

(lol DM was just a tabletop gaming reference, for putting oneself in the role of an NPC in-game )

That's what a DMPC is. An (N)PC played by the DM.

DMPC here is usually a pejorative, for when the DM is playing an NPC "to win" like its their own character. Usually hogging the spotlight.

So the DM is going undercover? Hiding as an NPC, to win? It is strategic, but high risk presumably as they might be just ‘taken out’ as an NPC…
