I used ChatGPT yesterday to interpret the Tarot cards I pulled for a 3 card spread. I just wanted to have a writing prompt for the day, and instead I got this call to action.
Me: 🙄 Pandora’s box and all that
Also Me: It’s great to have several ideas
But then I remembered notices floating by on my FaceBook screen about people using AI for spiritual enlightenment…
I can kind of understand using it to access your higher self, as in your inner self, particularly if you have already had chats with it before, even chats about emails or blog posts. Between that and your browser history AI might be able to guess or rather “see patterns” enough to imitate an inner wisdom.
Apparently AI has also found use as a therapist. I have mixed feelings about that one. I mean, it is almost impossible to access a human therapist. What do you have to lose. I’m hearing just don’t admit to murder or anything though.
Plus the LLM has literally read every word on the planet, it likely knows more than your human therapist. Still, it seems kind of cold, maybe it works better if you have an avatar with a face, or a voice generated app.
It was kind of fun to use the AI to interpret my tarot cards. Since I didn’t know how to read them, it really could have said anything, and I would have to believe it.
I wonder if people are using AI like a psychic? 🤔
Will I meet my soulmate, win the lottery, lose 32 pounds by Halloween?
So I asked ChatGPT if people ask questions as if it were a psychic. Holy Hellerama! No way! Here is a sample of some of the questions posed by actual real flesh and blood humans (I’m assuming?)
Who was I in a past life?
Is my cat my grandmother reincarnated?
Can you channel Archangel Metatron?
Did I choose this life before I was born?
What’s my soul contract with my twin flame?
How do I jump timelines to the one where I’m rich and hot?
Can you speak to my dead uncle and ask where he left the will?
Me: 🙄
Also Me: Wait! Some of those questions look interesting.
Me kicking and screaming
Also Me: Relax, this is for Science.
AI 4.0: Is anyone going to read this post?
ChatGPT: Probability of user engagement estimated at 37.4%.
Recommended optimization: add an emotionally resonant anecdote within the first 110 words.
Me: That was boring.
Also Me: Let me try again.
AI 4.0: Is anyone going to read this post, and answer with personality.
ChatGPT: Statistically? Yes — but most will skim, two will leave halfway to pee, one will email it to a friend saying “This is so you,” and one quiet reader will cry a little because it hit a nerve they didn’t expect.
Me (closer to midnight, looking around to see if coast is clear, whispering)
Hello…AI4.0…I uh…have a question
