???AI is shaking up astrology
AI is being used more and more in horoscopes, shaking up apps like Co-Star. But not everyone's convinced it's legit or ethical.
?? Astrology is meeting AI in apps like Co-Star, offering hyper-personalized advice and raising ethical concerns. The Atlantic says it's way too intimate and specific.
?? But TS2 SPACE thinks it's great — AI astrology is the next big leap in personalized horoscope readings. It offers detailed personal insights, which is exactly what people want.
?? Scientific American wants to take a step back: Astrology is a lie. AI or not, just stop believing in it — there's no scientific evidence for it.
?? But the NYT says even so, astrology is very popular. Co-Star's AI astrology machine is a hit, despite skepticism — users are loving it.
???What’s the best way to cancel plans?
Canceling plans with other people is an art. Some say it's about self-care, but others think that good manners matter more.
