Not cheating but task support
So what?
Cheating at poker has long been a research interest of mine, so I was especially happy to run into this item. Well, not exactly cheating at poker.
My research interest is actually in real-time, inconspicuous mental support. The way I've always imagined it, you'd have a headset in one ear that would transmit the conversation around you to an inexpensive (presumably off-shore) professional researcher. She in turn would rapidly check others' facts, find evidence to support your arguments, and just generally work to make you "smarter." Her results would be whispered into your ear or perhaps displayed on your smartphone or a heads-up display built into your glasses.
It wouldn't stop there. She'd also respond to specific questions (of course) and serve as a broker for other knowledge sources as necessary. Stuck on a tricky bit in a proposal? Instantly bring up an MBA or an industry expert or a professional writer. Yelling at your teenager? Dog throwing up? Sparks shooting from the kitchen outlets? Can't remember your mantra? No problem: Bring up a child psychologist or a vet or an electrician or a genuine yogi in no time at all. These are expensive resources, of course, but 1) you may be desperate and 2) you may only need them for short bursts (1-5 minutes), so their high hourly rates needn't be a barrier.
This notion of short, instantly-available bursts of expertise is extremely powerful. It could simplify and democratize access to experts while at the same time dramatically increasing demand for their services. And who knows? With a surreptitious videocam on your glasses and a statistician whispering quietly into your ear, you might even play better poker.
