No way a human fortune teller would say something like that in their right mind.

Same as with fortune cookie quips, any "prediction" will be something that sounds deep and intriguing, but always vague enough to be non-falsifiable.

Otherwise, client will come back and confront fortune teller about it. And human one knows it well enough to avoid making an unnecessary headache for themselves.

The article mentions him falsifying a previous fortune-teller's bullshit:

> He also noted that this wasn’t the first time she had fallen into irrational beliefs. He claimed that in the past, his wife had visited an astrologer, and it took her a year to accept that nothing they said came true.

I don't think the problem here is with AI.

You can sue the fortune teller.

If you want to waste money and lose the case, I guess.

Defamation is defamation
