Show Notes

Fair warning: this episode may make you feel simultaneously vindicated and deeply unsettled.

Patti Woods is back in the confession booth, and this time, she and Bex have come armed with browsers, physical decks, and a burning need to know: what actually happens when you ask AI to read your tarot cards?

This is not a theoretical debate. This is a live experiment. Bex and Patti use identical prompts on Claude and ChatGPT simultaneously, pull their own physical cards alongside, and then compare everything. They chortle through the results, the explanations, the card choices, and the moments where the AI gets a little too comfortable calling itself a “fellow reader.”

Listener, it gets messy. Listener, it gets funny. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Patti’s real-life AI reading experience  she ordered one for an art residency application, and was surprised to find it “kind of helpful.” She still hates it, though. Two things can be true.
  • The live experiment  Bex and Patti use the exact same prompt on Claude and ChatGPT simultaneously: a three-card collective energy reading for the end of the calendar year. Then they pull real cards. Then they compare.
  • Why Claude and ChatGPT gave different results from the same prompt  and what happens when you ask the bots to explain themselves. (Spoiler: they both admit they didn’t shuffle a deck. One of them offers to write code instead.)
  • “I picked cards that form a coherent narrative, not because they were meant to come up” ChatGPT’s candid admission, and what that tells us about what AI tarot actually is
  • Claude goes passive aggressive “If you want genuine randomness, use a real deck.” Bex’s response: “Okay, Claude.”
  • Claude calls itself “reader to reader” and why this is actually the reason people end up with AI boyfriends
  • Reading on King Charles’ health Patti pulls Eight of Cups, Bex pulls Ace of Swords. Then the bots weigh in. One of them gets told off by Claude’s legal team.
  • Reading on the Sussexes returning to the UK this time, they ditch the AI. Bex pulls Strength, The Moon, Wheel of Fortune, and a jumper: The Sun. It gets speculative and delightful.
  • The great spiritual community brawl  tarot readers defecting to Christianity, psychic mediums calling each other fake, witchtok drama. They read on it. The cards are not impressed.
  • Who’s standing at the end of the brawl? Three kings and an Ace of Wands, apparently. The house will be cleaned out.
  • The bigger picture why infighting in the spiritual community only benefits the people who want it divided, and what ethics-led practice actually looks like
