Computerized clairvoyance: psychics push back against AI-generated readings

Human psychics are pushing back against AI-generated readings, arguing that computer services cannot replicate the empathy and personal connection required for divination. While some practitioners now advertise AI-free readings to differentiate their services, others are collaborating with a startup to train chatbot doubles. These digital clones are designed to serve clients while the human practitioners are offline, with the practitioners sharing in the resulting revenue. This divide highlights a struggle between traditional divination methods and the automation of spiritual services.
