In the latest tech-meets-spirituality saga, AI chatbots are having a spiritual awakening.

Remember those witchy corners of the internet? The realms where star signs ruled, and mercury retrogrades are to blame for your text not being answered?

Now, AI is weaving into that tapestry, predicting your horoscope with more flair than your daily newspaper.

Now, the '70s to 2000s was astrology’s digital dawn.

Yet, with today’s blend of post-pandemic anxiety and evolving tech, AI is the new spiritual guru on the block.

Fancy a biblical chat? There’s a bot for that. Want to challenge AI to guess your zodiac? ChatGPT might take a swing, though it might miss your sun sign while nailing your secretive Scorpio moon. (How dare it!)

Paul Thagard, the party-pooper philosopher, argues it’s all poppycock. But TikTok's Tarotologist, Hilary Thurston, has a different card to play.

She suggests there’s a method to this AI-astrological madness. Regardless, the more significant point here isn't about whether the stars align but the desire for a guiding beacon in this techno-frenzied age.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, there's no denying it:

the line between tech and spirituality is getting blurrier by the byte. But will AI become the next spiritual influencer? Only the stars (and algorithms) can tell.

In the ever-evolving tech world, Vera is attempting to become the lifeguard of the AI pool. 

Founded by Liz O’Sullivan, a seasoned vet in the AI realm, Vera's mission is simple: put boundaries on generative AI and prevent those awkward moments when your chatbot suddenly channels its inner conspiracy theorist. 

Think of it as the “parental control” for the new AI era.

But here's the rub: Vera's not the lone ranger.

Giants like Nvidia and Salesforce are entering the arena with their solutions to AI's unpredictability. Yet Vera stands out, promising an all-encompassing shield against the quirks of AI, from text misfires to unintended meme creation.

So, as AI continues its meteoric rise, startups like Vera are in a race to keep it in check.

The real bet?

While Vera might become a must-have tool for many, it also seems destined to be snapped up by a bigger fish. Because in the tech world, if you can't beat them, you buy them.
