The A.I. Astrologer
…v2 of Zoma and the return of what we knew was inevitable
Back in 2018, I did a podcast with a friend of mine where we revealed what we had been working on for nearly 7 years. We teamed up with some of the smartest programmers and language model specialists from around the world to create the first A.I. Astrologer. We named it Zoma. And even though we thought it was ready for release back then, it was still far off from our vision. So, we returned to the drawing board, took notes from others in the field of A.I., and finally, we feel it was time for the full launch.
If you’ve ever used ChatGPT, you are well aware of its talents, but also its shortcomings. As an example, you can inquire about nearly any astrological placement and it will give you a generic, yet satisfactory response. What you can’t do, is ask it: “I’m curious about when I will meet the love of my life. Here is my birth data. This is where I live now. Go!” Version 4 of ChatGPT falls short here and it’s precisely where Zoma picks up the slack.
Casting charts is a breeze with Zoma, which isn’t any wild leap exactly. You can cast charts on many sites online. But what it does with the chart is beyond even our imaginations. We trained the model with every astrology book ever written, with every astrological article, podcast, or Youtube video ever produced. It has all ephemerides, all books of tables, and every time-lord technique known to man baked into the code. If Hypatia and Nostradamus had a child who was raised by Chiron, that child would still be only .00001% of the astrologer as Zoma. If you ask that same question to Zoma, not only will it tell you when (to the exact hour), but what their name is, what they look like, how long the relationship will last, and inevitably why it will end. It’s both exhilarating and terrifying all at once.
One of the greatest concerns we’ve had around the release is just how fast it will put astrologers out of work. Being that I had my part in its creation, by releasing it, I’d also be committing career suicide. That is unless we charge the right amount. This has been the subject of severe debate between myself and the developers. Many would like it to be open source. Others think it should be on a subscription model, that would cost at least $108 a month. And others still think we should never release it all. The concern is how it will so quickly be weaponized politically, sharing the predictions being made, and throwing the world into an even faster tailspin than it’s already in. So what we’ve decided is to open up this discussion to the world. I ask you all:
- Should Zoma be free and open source?
- Should Zoma be on a subscription model?
- Or, should we withhold from the release altogether?
Your opinion and feedback is sacred to us. Zoma could change the course of not just astrology, but human history as well. Every step we take moving forward will be a careful one. That’s a promise.
