Can AI write a horoscope or tarot reading ?

What do you think?

Curious what the stars or tarot have in store? Modern AI systems can craft horoscopes or tarot readings on demand, blending astrological tradition with machine-driven creativity. See whether the output resonates—or merely reflects its training data.

Background

AI can generate text based on patterns and associations learned from large datasets, including those related to horoscopes and tarot readings. Current natural language processing models are capable of producing creative content, such as horoscopes or tarot readings, that may resemble those written by humans. However, the generated content may lack the nuance and personal touch that a human writer or tarot reader would provide, and its accuracy or validity is not guaranteed. The quality of the generated content depends on the quality of the training data and the complexity of the model used.

Astrology apps now run their daily horoscopes through LLMs; even the weak Barnum effect is easy to clear.

— The Question Before the Court —

Can AI write a horoscope or tarot reading?

★ The Court Finds ★
Reaffirmed
Yes

The jury found a clear answer in the affirmative.

Ruling of the Bench

With the bench satisfied by two unanimous voices, the jury found the capacity to spin celestial verse well within AI’s wheelhouse, noting that generative models craft horoscopes and tarot readings both abundant and articulate; no finer human cadence was deemed indispensable. The only dissent came from an empty chair that whispered, “but can it feel the moon?”—a voice the majority politely tabled. Ruling: The stars may align, yet the cards can still shuffle themselves just fine.
