>It was dead-on with its answer. It guessed 30-35. I'm 32.

Horoscopes must feel like literal magic to you.

I'm not familiar with Horoscopes.

    They're all about saying things that apply broadly enough, in a way that makes them seem specific, in order to make people go "Wow, that's dead-on!" An example:

      You’ve recently been feeling a quiet tension between wanting stability and craving some kind of change. On the surface, things look mostly under control, but there’s a sense that one small adjustment—something you’ve been postponing—could shift your mood more than you expect.

    (What I'm saying is calling 30-35 "dead on" makes you look like somebody who is easily impressed by parlour tricks)

      That doesn't make any sense.

      I only asked ChatGPT to guess my age because I'm assuming OpenAI is going to have the LLM assume your age going forward, which is an interesting use of the technology. Rather than ask up front, it just guesses based on the utilization of the tool. I understand "dead-on" may have been the wrong use of the term, let's just say it was fairly accurate...

      I probably would be impressed by a good parlour trick or an accurate horoscope. Lmao
