ChatGPT has left fortune tellers without clients

In Russia, demand for fortune tellers and tarot readers has sharply dropped — by about a third. According to industry representatives, it's all about neural networks: zoomers are increasingly asking their questions to a regular AI chat — and getting instant answers for free.

Meanwhile, the 40+ audience remains loyal to esotericism: for them, personal meetings, 'energy,' and live communication are important. True, it's not cheap: a tarot consultation costs 1–5 thousand rubles, and with well-known psychics, prices start at about 9 thousand.
