    Weren’t there a couple of stories in the '70s and '80s about people climbing the corporate ladder by following the advice from a Magic 8 Ball? And look how all that turned out!

      The magic 7 ball strategy had a survivorship basis. Only competent people succeeded in using it

      I think those people using magic 8, succeeded by not using their emotions to make career decisions, but coolly and rationally handled what was in front of them randomly .

      As a consequence they played less power games while being very aggressive. Which is a winning strategy sometimes .

      Llm could not replicate it, too much instructions
