A pretty interesting take, and an interesting discussion about what it means to be open source. Is there room for a trusted space between open source and closed corporate software?

I use it on and off. I get annoyed that the swiping constantly gives the wrong words.

I know nothing about all this licensing stuff. Way over my head... But, is it possible that "futo" is using us to train their software, then when it's working great, change it to a paid app?

I doubt it. All of the AI stuff is local, and I don't think there's any network interaction other than checking for updates (you could check that, or block it with something like RethinkDNS or NetGuard), so there wouldn't be any way for them to get your data. The other app of theirs I use, Grayjay, doesn't even sync between instances of their app across devices, so I think it's fair to say they explicitly avoid touching the network whatsoever.
