Most people who make correct predictions are simply lucky guessers. A true prediction would explain in detail exactly how some condition in the future comes about, and provides an accurate time frame for all of those pieces.
Scott Adams talks about lived experience and how it's hard to extrapolate to some specific end. He's been really humble lately, since he reported an old story. But he did talk about the human brain cell exobot that plays Pong. As soon as there are two playing each other, they are [humans] living in a simulation.
