I agree with the other comments that this is a fairly useless article. Perhaps I’m looking too much into this specific example, but I fail to see how the entirety of AI’s success (per this title) is misrepresented due to its inability to provide a horoscope (good example by another comment) that’s specific to some person in question.

We see a lot of articles that swing too far towards “AI will change everything!” just as much as “no, AI is not actually effective/meaningful!”. This is the latter. I’m surprised that anyone would genuinely try to use chatGPT/language LLMs this way.

I’m mainly enjoying chatGPT as a way to distill widespread information on the internet into a pseudo conversation. It’s great for learning new topics - my favorite is generating and explaining code snippets for languages/libraries I’m not familiar with.
