I don't disagree. However, anyone who thinks it predicts the future? They won't be swayed by people who say "nuh uh". People have been saying that forever. Anyone who thinks to prove it isn't predictive either already know, or are susceptible to confirmation bias. I'm just calling it what it is: a procedurally generated advice column. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't. If it affects your mental health, take a step back. It's not that serious.
Therapy costs money, and isn't done for fun though. It's not the same thing. Like, are we trying to tell people who read fortune cookies to go to therapy instead? It's a dumb interest that some people get way too into. Therapy helps with the obsessive part, which doesn't need astrology to manifest.
Very reddit to get downvoted for asking a question. But yeah, I saw what I expected. People using astrology improperly, becoming obsessed, and finding consequences. If it doesn't happen with astrology, it'll happen with something else. This is a people problem.
Astrology used as a predictive engine obviously doesn't work. Anyone using it that way is using it improperly IMO. It's more like procedurally generated advice. For example, mine says there's a conflict between old and new, and to embrace change while drawing on past lessons. Super vague, can apply to anyone. But it resonates and gives me something to focus on. That's really all there is to it. Trying to "prove" it doesn't work is like trying to "prove" wrestling is fake. That's not the point, man.
I think a lot of the hostility comes from the fact that AI can and will be used against us. No one actually wants it to succeed because it's an overall loss for us, so people are heavily scrutinizing it in ways that miss the bigger picture imo.
Persecution and litigation against gay people is basically thought crime, isn't it? Why is this still something we have to defend against?
