People used to cast lots to make major life decisions.
Putting a token predictor in the mix — especially one incapable of any actual understanding — seems like a natural evolution.
Absolved of burden of navigating our noisy, incomplete and dissonant thoughts, we can surrender ourselves to the oracle and just obey.
Yes, but its incredibly dangerous when the operator of the token predictor can give you, personally, different behavior and can influence your decisions even more directly than before.
