Yet among the waiting crowds, some young people lower their heads over their phones, scrolling through apps and typing prompts into AI chatbots in search of guidance. Although the methods and forms of fortune-telling continue to evolve, the desires and expectations behind them remain unchanged. Whether seeking counsel from a traditional master or answers generated by AI, people are still searching for the same thing in this uncertain world: certainty, comfort, and a sense of direction in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|150px||150px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/jmsc6110a.com\/capstone2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_2440-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;DSC_2440&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-69px||||false|false&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;AI fortune telling in fortune tellers\u2019 eyes &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;Lato||||||||&#8221; title_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Arial||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Wong Tai Sin Temple, fortune-telling follows a ritual that has remained largely unchanged for over a century. Visitors begin by silently reciting their names, birth dates, and the questions they want to ask in their minds and kneel to pray, and then shake a bamboo cylinder filled with numbered sticks until one falls out. Each number on the fortune sticks corresponds to a written fortune, which are mainly classic Chinese poems.
