Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The grim trigger strategy, which involves a player defecting forever if the other player defects even once, does not enhance cooperation in repeated prisoner's dilemma situations. It is considered too harsh and unforgiving, making it less effective at fostering long-term cooperation compared to strategies that allow for forgiveness or more nuanced responses.
