It is possible to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that does everything you can do in a game. Even more so, an AI can outperform you in every routine operation, depending on the complexity of the task. Because scripting is so powerful, it can give you a competitive advantage that some people consider unfair or even cheating. In some cases it can have much more far reaching consequences on a game, such as inflation, loss of balance in terms of game-mechanics or, ultimately, a complete crash of in-game economy. For these and various other reasons the administrators and owners some games forbid or limit the use of automation tools.
