Ways to Test Your Psychic Abilities: What did AI have to say?

What would happen if you asked AI chat services like Bard or ChatGPT, “What are some ways to test your psychic abilities?” Would they kick back the same answer? Or would they have different responses? Would one be more useful than the other?

I’m always curious about how they’ll answer paranormal and occult questions. I was also curious if they’d include any of the same suggestions I offered for six easy ways to test your psychic ability, which were:

1. Using pen and paper to write down three things you foresee happening the next day.
2. Tossing a coin and predicting which side it will land on.
3. Using cards to predict which colors will turn up. (Or which suit, number, etc.)
4. Predict who’s calling when you’re phone rings.
5. Test your psychic abilities with an online test.
6. Practice with a friend using Zenner cards or using blank colored flash cards to draw your own symbols.

There was only one way to find out how similar —or not— they’d be. Let’s see what happened when I asked them both that question.

Bard’s Suggestions for Ways to Test Your Psychic Abilities

There are many ways to test your psychic abilities. Here are a few:

Remote viewing

This is the ability to see or sense things that are not physically present. One way to test your remote viewing skills is to try to guess the contents of a sealed envelope or box. You can also try to remote view a specific location, such as a friend’s house or a famous landmark.

Clairvoyance

This is the ability to see the future or past. One way to test your clairvoyance skills is to try to predict the outcome of a sporting event or a lottery drawing. You can also try to clairvoyantly receive information about a specific person or event.

Telepathy

This is the ability to read minds. One way to test your telepathy skills is to try to guess what someone is thinking about. You can also try to telepathically communicate with a friend or family member who is in another room.

Mediumship

This is the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. One way to test your mediumship skills is to try to contact a deceased loved one. You can also try to mediumistically receive information about a specific event or person.

Disclaimer

(They didn’t really call it a disclaimer, but it felt like one.)

It is important to note that there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of psychic abilities. However, many people believe that they have these abilities and that they can be tested. If you are interested in testing your psychic abilities, there are many resources available online and in libraries. You can also find psychic fairs and workshops where you can test your skills with the help of experienced psychics.

Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips for testing your psychic abilities:

• Be relaxed and open-minded. It is important to be in a state of relaxation and openness in order to tap into your psychic abilities.
• Be specific in your requests. When you are trying to test your psychic abilities, be specific in your requests. For example, instead of asking “What is my future?”, ask “What will happen in my career in the next year?”
• Be patient. It may take some time and practice to develop your psychic abilities. Be patient and don’t give up if you don’t see results immediately.
• Have fun! Testing your psychic abilities should be enjoyable. If you are not having fun, you are less likely to be successful.

ChatGPT’s Suggestions for Ways to Test Your Psychic Abilities

The concept of psychic abilities is a controversial and often unscientific topic. Many skeptics argue that psychic abilities have not been reliably demonstrated through scientific studies. However, if you’re interested in exploring your intuition or perceived psychic abilities, here are some activities you might consider:

1. Zener Cards

Zener cards are a set of cards with various symbols on them, such as stars, circles, squares, wavy lines, and crosses. You can use these cards to practice telepathy or clairvoyance by trying to guess the symbol on each card without seeing it.

2. Remote Viewing

Remote viewing involves attempting to gather information about a distant or unseen target using extrasensory perception. You could try to remote view a specific location, object, or event and then compare your impressions with actual information.

3. Intuition Exercises

Practice activities that enhance your general intuition. For instance, before flipping a coin, try to “feel” whether it will land heads or tails. Keep track of your guesses and see if your accuracy improves over time.

4. Dream Journaling

Some people believe they receive psychic insights through dreams. Keep a dream journal to record your dreams and any intuitive feelings or messages you believe you’ve received during sleep.

5. Guided Meditation

Engage in guided meditation exercises that encourage you to tap into your inner awareness and intuition. These meditations may help you develop a better connection with your subconscious mind.

6. Aura Reading

Explore the concept of reading auras, which are said to be energy fields surrounding living beings. You could practice by trying to sense or visualize the aura around yourself or others.

7. Precognition Practice

Precognition involves perceiving future events. You could make predictions about simple future occurrences, like what color shirt a friend will be wearing the next time you see them, and track your accuracy.

8. Telepathy Games

Play telepathy games with a friend, where one person tries to transmit a simple thought or image, and the other person tries to receive and identify it.

9. Tarot or Oracle Cards

Tarot and oracle cards are used for divination and introspection. They can help you tap into your intuitive insights and explore deeper aspects of your thoughts and feelings.

10. Mindfulness and Awareness Training

Engage in mindfulness practices to enhance your awareness and sensitivity to your surroundings and inner experiences. This heightened awareness might help you notice subtle information that you previously overlooked.

Additional

Remember that the results of such activities can often be attributed to chance, coincidence, or your subconscious mind rather than supernatural abilities. It’s important to approach these exercises with an open mind, a healthy dose of skepticism, and a willingness to accept any outcomes, whether they align with your expectations or not. If you’re interested in exploring these areas further, you might also want to read books or attend workshops by reputable sources that provide guidance on developing intuition and psychic abilities.

Analysis

Bard and ChatGPT had similar but varied answers, and both included some of the same suggestions I’d shared in my post for ways to test psychic ability.

However, I think I preferred ChatGPT’s answer. I liked the presentation better and how they broke it down into ten different exercises. I also felt it was written a little better. It seemed more engaging and personable, whereas Bard’s felt more pedagogical.
