AI Divination: Tarot Readers Face Digital Challenges

The new generation of young people, having first dabbled in divination, are now turning to large AI models for spiritual comfort.

AI divination has become a high-frequency scenario for young people using AI. Currently, mainstream AI divination applications mainly focus on tarot card divination, simulating offline divination processes, including steps such as asking questions, drawing cards, and interpreting card faces.

Compared to traditional offline divination, the advantages of AI divination are:

  1. High convenience, allowing divination to be performed anytime, anywhere.

  2. No time or question limitations, enabling users to ask more specific questions.

  3. Strong generalization ability of large language models, providing explanations for various questions.

  4. Low cost, without the need to pay high fees.

The accuracy of AI divination is actually a pseudo-proposition. Divination is essentially an interpretation of randomness, and users value gaining certainty and emotional connections more. The "hallucination" ability of large language models becomes an advantage, allowing for reasonable explanations based on the card faces.

Currently, the card interpretation ability of AI divination is approaching that of offline tarot readers, and many users are starting to replace offline divination with AI divination. However, there are differences in the design of various AI divination products:

  • Some directly generate results using large models
  • Others randomly draw cards and then use large models to interpret

The former has a higher probability of producing positive and repetitive results.

Overall, AI divination is changing the supply method of the traditional divination industry, becoming one of the earlier fields disrupted by AI applications. As technology advances, AI divination may further develop, providing users with more personalized and immersive divination experiences.
