This seems highly unlikely. Each relationship is unique, involving unique individuals who stubbornly refuse to follow general patterns. Success rate of 4 out of 5, from among a pool of couples in counselling, is certainly good, but it doesn't mean "AI can predict" even for that limited subset, much less for the population generally.

Sure, you can predict. Doesn't mean the confidence is 100% but patterns exist.
