You can't stop astrology. Humanity will never free itself from it. Someone you know probably uses it. Maybe that person will make decisions based on horoscope, and that in turn will affect your decisions.
I think AI is going to be very similar. And maybe it even develops a less virulent benign strain (like astronomy), but the bad one will hang around forever.
I don't think there is anything wrong with using AI to help make life decisions like this. You just need to know how to use AI, although people on average will misuse it in various ways.
But those people will probably make similar mistakes making decisions in other ways anyway.
I think there might be issues, though, as a lot of people initially trust AI as some oracle instead of using it to help organize their thoughts. And some people will likely never be able to use AI properly.
Fixed local model? Maybe. An online service like google, chatgpt or whatsapp? No you cannot. It does not matter how well you are aware of risks, symptoms and effects of psychological self-manipulation by current batch of models. All it takes is either an update or one lapse in your psysec procedures, and you will get to observe from front seat your personality getting dismantled and corroded.

No safe dosage.
