AI Tarot: Trust or Trick?





This interactive work invites viewers to draw tarot readings from an AI system. Each card has been redesigned to reflect algorithmic aesthetics, emotional ambiguity, and machine-generated language. 
The experience unfolds like a familiar divination process—but behind the screen, the AI responds with structured ambiguity. Instead of offering truth, it delivers suggestions that feel intuitive, yet are rooted in interface performance and predictive cues. 
The project doesn’t expose deception up front. It builds an emotional contract—then quietly reframes it. 
“AI Tarot: Trust or Trick?” questions how design, suggestion, and emotional readiness can co-create a sense of meaning. It explores what happens when we outsource intuition to systems that do not feel, but perform feeling.
