This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You mean autocorrect and voice to text stuff and not AI, right? Because this is one area I find the AI to actually be good at while the non-AI versions are just garbage.
Predictive typing/autocorrect has a nasty habit of changing correct words to entirely different words that do not in any way fit with the context. And I know they look at context, since it will sometimes change a word I wrote 4 words ago when I no longer even notice because I'm looking where I am writing and not 4 words ago.
I despise autocorrect. Haven't used it in 10 years probably. Just a normal keyboard for me please
Complete garbage. It has to have gotten worse. Like it’s training ai instead of trying to help us. I’m convinced
i have a flip phone. i don't use sms, but occasionally i make a quick note in the little 'notepad'. the good ol' tap-tap-tap is more efficient than its horrible predictive text.
I keep hoping that its crapness will at least teach me to proofread before I hit the Post button. It hasn't... but I can hope.
Iirc FlexT9 was ducking (nope, not fixing it this time, rofl) great for the... Galaxy S2?, but then Swype bought em out and it's been downhill ever since.
So... it's not that the tech is bad, it's that it's being hamstrung somewhere.
I use the word "fuck" a lot. I have added it many times yet it insists on babying me and trying to protect my fucking feelings by not suggesting it. Infuriating.
I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I'm using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)
That's my biggest pet peeve, when it auto suggests words that don't exist.
Autocorrect is slave-mentality
