AI Palmistry

I shared a photo of my right hand with popular AI agents and asked for a detailed palmistry reading.

Apply all the principles of palmistry and read my hand. Be exhaustive and cross-check against the different schools of palmistry. Tell me what they consistently agree on and what they are differing on.

I was more interested in how much they agree with each other than with reality. So I shared all three readings and asked Claude:

What are things all three agents clearly agree on? List these.
What are things they differ on? List as a comparison table.

Here’s what they agree on. The first is probably right. I’m not sure about the rest.

✅ You think in patterns and connections, not just logic. Your mind works by synthesizing ideas across domains rather than following straight lines. (Oh, yes. My mind’s drunk.)
❓ You have strong physical energy and bounce back well from illness or setbacks. (Do I? In 2023, I spent a year “bouncing back”. And I still haven’t bounced back from 26 Oct 2014.)
❌ You feel deeply, but don’t show it loudly. Your emotions are genuine and loyal — just not dramatic. (I’m actually shallow. I show what I feel and it’s not much.)
❓ You built your own path. No preset direction was handed to you; your sense of purpose developed through your own choices. (Um… this is partly true for everyone?)
❓ You’re not a blunt-action person. You process experience through interpretation and nuance before acting. (Maybe? Sometimes I’m impulsive. Sometimes not.)
❓ There’s more going on inside than people around you typically see. (Um… this is partly true for everyone?)

Clearly, AI’s analysis of my chats is much better than of my palm.

No updates till the weekend. I’m in Bangalore. In the meantime, remember not to trust anything that’s forwarded to you. It’s likely to be an urban legend.
