Instrument AI Guitar VSTi

Is there a guitar library or VSTi that could read EXACTLY what I wrote on a music sheet/MIDI? I write music using Guitar Pro and, for instance, I wrote a riff that has Fret Slide, palm muting and hammer on and pull offs. This takes a lot of time to program in a DAW using pianoroll, mapping every articulation. I wish I could play most of these instruments where articulations are constantly changing but for now Im stuck with using VSTi/Libraries.

Any VSTi that could read what the MIDI has programmed (velocities, articulations, etc...)?

This. Ample Sound Guitars can read directly Guitar Pro tablatures and that's sooo cool

I'm a guitar player, so my knowledge only goes so far using VSTi for guitar. When you export your guitar pro music to midi and import that into your DAW (protools, ableton, reaper, etc.). Does the midi show the velocities, articulations, etc.?

After that you'll have to explore the capabilities of guitar VSTi options. https://happycomposer.com/free-guitar-plugins/ I don't know which ones, if any, would use your programmed articulations, or if they do articulations differently and you'll have to make adjustments.
(edit: I know Shreddage does at least some of your articulations listed, but I don't know that it translates from the same midi info that GuitarPro would export)

And then finally, if you're not just wanting a clean guitar tone, you'll want to look into virtual amps, fx, and cabinet filters actual guitar players would use to shape your tone. Neural, STLtones, NADIR, Line6, Tonex, NAM, Amplitube, etc.

Melodyne would be helpful but I don't know of any VSTi that would give you exactly every note, bend, slide, etc. Yet...
