You are putting way too much thought into this. Some people are just extremely emotionally vulnerable and insecure, and will look to ANYTHING to try to satiate that anxiety, and accept any answer. Look at how huge and fervent communities around astrology are. There have been countless studies showing that self-proclaimed "skilled astrologers" have no better chance than random of predicting someone's sign (based on birth month) given a detailed description of that person's life and personality. But that literally doesn't matter, because it's too much fun to these people to divide everyone into groups and stereotype them, regardless if there's no evidence at all behind the stereotypes. And then invent causality for fun, just to feel like they understand why people are they way they are without doing any of the actual work of understanding their life story. Literally, they do not care about the proof of causality, they already fully believe it and fully believe that anyone who doesn't "just doesn't get it." They just want to say "oh I'm an Aries, you can't blame me for being like this." and "Of course he did that, he's a Leo."
These people are going to exist with or without chatgpt. Maybe we should adjust the instruction training to tell people that you can't make worldly predictions from the arrangement of coffee grounds in a cup, other than the quality of the coffee machine and filters, no matter how creative and fantasy-like the users want the model to be.
