Since you asked :) - Nay!! (what's meh?) and you said it - it's a pseudo science... so why, even? If you hadn't said 'pseudo science', I'd have assumed you're a believer and that the question was in earnest. OTOH - you do end with 'old world knowledge' so I'm not sure anymore. but you're not asking that...I suppose what you're asking is akin to training an AI on two unrelated datasets and asking it to predict one based on other... sure - it's going to spit out some 'pattern recognition' where none exists. Basically, AI (or anything else) can't manufacture causality.

‘Meh’ = ‘I don’t know.’ 1. Psychology is also considered pseudo science. The age old question about economics is whether it is science or art...some ..usually the cynical..settle on pseudo science. Pseudo science is a catch all term. I am reluctant to dismiss something that captures the attention of so many people..now and in the past. Many mathematicians were Astronomers as well as astrologists. When did astrology become the illegitimate bastard child of astronomy? Why? What about personality tests? What about algorithms? Google search algorithm is not a secret. It must be easy to reverse engineer it, but only a small percentage of the population who use google know how it works. For the rest of the layfolk, it is magic and for others, it’s something advanced enough that it’s beyond their comprehension. But nobody really believes or calls google search results = ‘divination’. Because we know and accept that it’s in the realm of mathematical possibility. Why not astrology too? 2. Can you explain a little more about AI part of your response. That’s what I want to understand. I can’t even articulate well what question I am thinking of..but I think if you expand upon that I might find the right words.
