The sudden explosion of Deepseek has contributed a lot of new topics to the AI industry in 2025, and has spawned a series of hot topics such as “selling AI courses online, with tens of thousands of daily enrollment” and “Technology companies have used access to DeepSeek as a selling point.” Among them, ”AI fortune-telling" has become a new trend sweeping social networks while attracting the attention of users because it meets the psychological needs of young people nowadays. The news that a well-known blogger used AI fortune-telling ”2888" directly ignited the desire of young people to achieve wealth with the help of AI technology. Facing young people who love metaphysics, the “Cyber Half immortals” blessed by AI seem to have already made a lot of money (cutting leeks).
When AI algorithms meet metaphysical numerology, can logical reasoning predict the future? Or more precisely, can the increasingly advanced artificial intelligence help people solve problems and achieve overnight wealth? Can you find the right son of heaven through fortune-telling?
The essence of fortune-telling is “self-salvation in the age of anxiety”
The reason why ”AI fortune-telling" has swept the Internet and attracted the attention of young people is not only because Deepseek has brought a lot of exposure to the industry as the “top stream of AI”, but also because contemporary young people are facing multiple challenges such as workplace competition, marriage and love pressure, and economic burden, especially in a rapidly changing society. The future is uncertain.Certainty is magnified. Fortune-telling has become a “buffer valve” to relieve anxiety, gaining a temporary sense of control through vague predictions. For example, 78.81% of young people have counted their lives, and their main demands are focused on real-world issues such as emotions and careers.
Online platforms (such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo) have become the main position for the dissemination of fortune-telling content. Content such as horoscope and tarot divination has formed a social currency through fun packaging, and has even evolved into an “ice-breaking topic” in young people's society, becoming a kind of social currency.
AIFortune tellingInstruction sharing
Attached is an instruction I used myself: “You are now a professional researcher of traditional Chinese horoscope numerology. You are familiar with the books Qiongtong Baojian, Sanming Tonghui, Di Tianmu, and Yuanhai Ziping." You are familiar with a series of books such as Qianli's Life Draft, Xieji's Defense Book, Guo Lao Xingzong, Ziping Zhenxuan, Shenfeng Tongxiao, etc. According to the "Ranking of Universiade", there are Yang years and Yin years. Yang Nian: A, C, E, Heptanren. Yin Year: Ethylhexylhexyl. Males in the Yang year and females in the Yin year are arranged in the order, while males in the Yin year and females in the Yang year are arranged in the reverse order. The specific arrangement method is based on the monthly dry branch, and the forward and reverse are carried out. Before the children's Jiaotong Great Luck, the moon pillar branch was used as the ten-day branch of the great luck: A, B, C, D, E, Hegene, Xin, Ren, and Gui, and the twelve-day branch: Zichou Yinmao Chen had not applied for Youxuhai at noon. My birth is xx o'clock on the xxth of xx month of the lunar calendar, x sex, and the place of birth is xx. Please take the role of a professional four-pillar horoscope researcher, based on the books I mentioned above, and related four-pillar horoscope books and experience, tell me about the horoscopes and what they mean to me.Horoscopes for analysis. ”
Modify the xx in the above text and send it to deepseek. It will give eight-character analysis, five-element analysis, personality analysis, career marriage and so on. (Personally, I think it's quite accurate. After sharing it with friends, I have analyzed the different characteristics of different people. As a materialist, I think it's quite magical.)
Psychological factors of fortune-telling
Barnum Effect (Barnum Effect) This is the core psychological principle. The Barnum effect refers to the tendency of people to believe that some ambiguous and universally applicable descriptions are specifically for themselves.
At the same time, the eight characters are arranged according to the year, month, day, and time of birth. Although it seems metaphysical, it actually implies some statistical laws. The ancients have long observed people born at different times and discovered some commonalities in their life patterns and summarized them into the rules of horoscope numerology. For example, people born in certain years are more likely to engage in specific occupations, or people born at a certain time are more likely to encounter certain types of life experiences. After reading the eight-character numerology, many people subconsciously explain their life experience in a certain way. People's lives have ups and downs, so no matter whether they are good or bad, they can find corresponding things to verify.
Awe but not superstitious, take advantage of the situation but do not accept fate
Of course, I think that if you believe in fortune-telling, you must also avoid things like fate. “Sometimes there must be in fate, but don't force it all the time in fate.” But fate is determined by heaven, and luck is man-made. It is also possible to make wrong choices because of excessive superstition of these inaccurate information. As for the so-called saying that the more life is counted, the worse it is, it is just a saying, and no one has yet been able to prove it. It may be that multiple fortune-telling will make people rely too much on external guidance, weaken their judgment, and may fall into confusion and anxiety. Instead of being afraid of fate, it is better to understand it and find your own breakthrough point, so that “fortune” can become a boost, not a yoke.
