The best was on the old T9s where you’d try to type mum, but its first choice would be nun.
My phone will not let me type ‘was’ without trying to autocorrect it to SAS. I’ve told it not to suggest SAS multiple times, but no luck. Swiping always works, though, so it’s only when I press each key.
My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it’s correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.
this is especially awesome when the first word has already been erroneously “corrected” and then manually fixed. and then apple decides to “correct” the first word again after you type the second word.
What’s 100x more annoying is when you type a real word but they decide you must have meant something else. That shit makes me bonkers
Apple devices seem to arbitrarily swap its and it’s.
i’ve started to believe they know what they’re doing but have malicious intent
Gets way worse when doing multilanguage setups
God I can only imagine!
Will humanity ever make autocorrect that’s more reliable than a Ouija board?
I would assume that LLMs would actually be a useful tool for this (instead of trying to use them for things they are not fit for)
Most Android keyboards are pretty good
Maybe with a direct to brain interface we won’t have to.

I doughnut care of autoconnect changes the meanings of my messages, at least I look likest I spells correction.
This is the one use of LLMs I actually really want, smarter text prediction!
Huh, that’s weird.
It just keeps trying to sell me a credit card instead.
It just works!
Sometimes I think heliboard uses the same algorithm
it really does seem like it, though at least it doesn’t get worse on multi-language setups, which i thought would happen but thankfully didn’t (at least for me)
Weird. I just tried this and actually got alarm.
