Neural Networks Displace Fortune Tellers, Replacing Psychotherapy

Neural networks are actively displacing fortune tellers and numerologists from the market, offering services in an automated mode. Chatbots can generate hundreds of personalized readings per hour, while AI avatars conduct round-the-clock broadcasts to build a client base.

Developers are creating applications that cover the entire spectrum of esoteric services — from consultations to predictions. Living psychics complain about losing clients to machines, but The Guardian notes a more serious problem: the replacement of psychotherapy with neuro-magic.

Users often replace professional psychological help with AI-based esoteric practices. This can lead to deterioration of mental health and the development of psychosis among trusting people seeking answers without qualified support.
