This is akin to saying "if you practice with a cheat so you can see through walls, it'll train you to know where players are likely to be standing".

No, it's cheating. It provides an unfair advantage by replacing a skill with a technology. There may be good intentions, but if so they are founded on a total misunderstanding of competition.

I don't think it's quite that cut and dry - it appears to only be using data already available to the player. If anything it seems like a training queue to notice the information that's already present instead of passing it over.

Chess engines also only use data already available to the player. That simply has no bearing on whether or not it's cheating.

That doesn't sound like how it would be used though. If I can run your app all the time, and get an edge, why wouldn't I?

Transparent, shameless attempts to deflect criticism make people like you less than if you just ignore it, phony exclamation point.
