Fortune telling is a bad strawman and you know it. Fortune tellers talk with one person, give vague advice, and may destroy a relationship at worst.

If a Fortune teller published articles claiming false things about random prople, gave dangerous medical advice, claiming to be a Nigerian prince, or convinced you to put all your savings into bitcoin; the "entertainment purposes" shield dissolves quite quickly.

Google makes an authorative statement on top of the worlds most used search engine, in a similar way they previously did with Wikipedia for relevant topics.

The little disclaimer should not shield them from doing real tangible harm to people.
