If a person used martin to help him in a chess game is it cheating?

according to Wikipedia cheating using a computer means that the cheater simply inputs the moves so far into the program and follows its suggestions, essentially letting the program play for them. So technically even if you are 2500 in say rapid and you use martin to help you in a chess game, you are cheating. But would that person be even cheating if they ask a very bad bot to help and setting them up for losing? Tell me what do you think? 

Thank you for spending your time on this.

I think they would still be cheating, regardless of the bots rating, they are letting someone else play for them.

Martin is the lowest rated chess bot on chess.com

Technically, anyone using bots or computer to play the game count as cheating, but what is the point of using a weak bot like Martin to cheat?
