It appears the tarot tool is currently disabled and unavailable for use. Multiple community reports confirm that OpenAI has recently restricted access, stating that it’s part of a platform-wide policy change—not a temporary glitch. Thus, even if others report it working, it’s likely out of operation for many users right now.
What This Means:
The in-app tarot functionality (drawing cards automatically) is no longer working. This isn’t a browser or login issue—it’s a core limitation at the platform level.
Some users who had previously accessed it may still reference it—but the current system restricts fresh tarot readings via tool calls.
Also, I don’t have a ChatGPT account (yet), since I could use it without account; it looks like I need a (free?) ChatGPT account, in order to access The Mystic Tarot, no?
Can you explain - give an example? It has a lot to do with how you ask. If you like you can DM me and I will ask your questions for you to see how that goes.
Absolutely. I feel the exact same… very restrictive as if it’s censured almost. But I think it has to do with chat gpt limitations regarding the version 5. If you search, a lot of people is complaining of the same overall
How do you guys see/notice the censorship?
I noticed the answers are shorter, but you can ask it to dig deeper/explain further.
What i dont like about the new version is that the cards it draws are basically crap.
The question you pose influences the spread. It is not randomised, even if it claims it is.
You can try it - ask to draw a celctic cross for you in different scenarios, like
“I have just been through a break up”
“I have been offered an exciting new opportunity at work”
" i have been invited to a trip with some close friends that i havent seen for a while"
Etc.
It will give you a spread perfectly fitting to that situation and crafting a story. Like heartbreak will have 3 of swords in the middle, some healing / reckoning and then ace of cups or soemthing similar as outcome… the new work one will have ace of pentacles or page of pentacles and/or 3 of pentacles etc.
I would say the explanations it gives are great and you can have a convo with it about the archetypes etc. But use a physical deck to draw the cards yourself.
If you really want to have it draw cards then dont share anything and just have it draw them, and then afterwards ask it to give an explanation with the extra context.
I think its rather LLM specific.
When i ask if it drew randomly, it says yes and even explains in more detail, but clearly it is not random.
Try it :
Have 2 separate chats open, and explain different levels of detail about X situation and then have it draw a spread.
They will be different in a way in that the one where you gave more details, it creates a narrative with the cards themselves that fits the story close to perfectly.
