2 min readKey summary
Tarot readers are increasingly using ChatGPT to interpret card spreads, especially when a reading feels difficult or ambiguous.
A 2026 study found practitioners using the chatbot both as a shortcut and as a way to test their own interpretations.
The trend raises concerns that AI’s confident responses could flatten tarot’s open-ended, symbolic nature.
It also shows AI moving deeper into personal and meaning-based practices, where certainty can influence grief, uncertainty, and decision-making.
