w_wobble@th_schmid That's so wrong. Not that I think ChatGPT is what people use it for but if you have a question ChatGPT can help you where you can look into. I don't think you can't say that about tarot.
λTotoro@w_wobble At least with tarot and astrology you're hallucinating the meaning you find in random noise yourself.
Chris [list of emoji]A friend of mine many years ago suggested* picking a good** astrologer, choosing the star sign that best describes you, and then following that. A good astrologer, he said, would tailor their advice to the temperament that they'd assigned to the star sign and so it'd be good advice on its own.
* Like many things he said, I'm not sure if he was joking or not.
** This is the hard part, I'm guessing.
@suetanvil I mean that's not *un*reasonable...
Of course the precise arrangements of constellations have no effect on your life, but these things can be a way of getting your own brain thinking more abstractly about what is currently important to you.
But if you're willing to spend money to make some sense of your life I'd still suggest a coach or a therapist over a astrologer or tarot reader.

HowToPhil (Phillip R)@lambdatotoro @suetanvil Shrinks are tarot readers for people with more money
@howtophil Hard disagree.
@lambdatotoro Harder disagree with your hard disagree
PeteSo, uh, how did that make you feel?
Absolutely.
The other thing this assumes is that the astrologer is targeting the subset of people born during a particular date range that *matches the astrologer's description of them* and then writing actual good advice for them. They might exist, but the more expedient strategy would be to write the kind of stuff that is vague enough that anyone can apply it to their lives.
(Recall: my friend had a very subtle sense of humour.)

Arguably fewer, since you don't need to do a test.
Russ SharekCan I please quote you on this?
@RussSharek @w_wobble Sure, knock yourself out! 👍
Shijikori@w_wobble @th_schmid ChatGPT is a pathological liar. What it says cannot be trusted wholly and barely in part.
@w_wobble @th_schmid ChatGPT is less useful than a one-card tarot deck.
Cyber Yuki@w_wobble @th_schmid I think you misspelled "Wikipedia".
