You can't stop astrology. Humanity will never free itself from it. Someone you know probably uses it. Maybe that person will make decisions based on horoscope, and that in turn will affect your decisions.

I think AI is going to be very similar. And maybe it even develops a less virulent benign strain (like astronomy), but the bad one will hang around forever.

My chatbot says that's a typical Aquarian attitude.

Who would publicly admit this, and even publicly talk about something this personal in this way? It's like the internet has made "attention whoring" the centre of our economy.

I am with you on this. Geez.

You might as well say "I behaved irresponsibly and as I write this I am still irresponsible. What to do, O what to do??"

How about take responsibility for yourself?

And culture.

Kim Kardashians empire is now worth 5 billion $$$. These new life forms the attention ecosystem produces hardly resembles anything seen in the past. Everyday people start adopting celebrity techniques. Visibility is like oxygen to them, while the pre-attention ecosystem life treat it as exposure. We are seeing two diverging sub species.

You may want to revisit your choice of chatbot -- it is clearly wrong. I see how it has a bias toward the typical Aquarian attitude by dismissing all the doom/gloom that gives away a Scorpio; and my chatbot agrees.

Astrology is not horoscopes.

Stars and planets radiate energy. Some of that energy is visible light, most is not. Energy affects people physically and psychologically. The bodies in our solar system follow predictable cycles. To think that we are not affected by energy that hits the planet at regular intervals is silly. Does it control all of human behavior and events? Obviously not, but it's not doing nothing.
