In Thailand, more young people are turning to generative AI for future predictions, using models like ChatGPT. Instead of waiting for a consultation with popular “Mor Doo” — as astrology and fortune-telling specialists are called in the country — users can get answers to their questions at any time of day by simply entering their date, time, and place of birth or uploading photos for analysis.
Besides traditional consultations about relationships or the future, users share tips on social media for using AI to analyze astrological charts and even recognize facial features from photos.
Although neither traditional fortune-telling nor its digital versions have a scientific basis, they remain popular among those who, in moments of weakness, seek simple answers to complex questions — even if these answers are illusory.
Content creators like Jirapat Wangcharoen actively use ChatGPT’s capabilities in their activities, offering subscribers recommendations and instructions for digital fortune-telling. Meanwhile, some experts express concerns about providing models with personal information, such as photos or birth data.
