    I’ve been wondering if Google fucked something with Gboard recently. The autocorrections have been abysmal. Like ‘dust’ becoming ‘dustDust’.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve intentionally regressed it to pave the way for some AI-enhanced bullshit.

      My brother in Christ, autocorrect & glide typing was AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.

        “Machine learning” or “heuristics”-driven maybe. But, they’ve got to milk their new garbage marketing terms by releasing the same old stuff under a new name unoe.

      It’s been bad for me ever since they wanted to “use” more of my data including relating to keyboard (like the fucking don’t already) and if you “rejected” then it wouldn’t use your history LOL.
      Auto-complete keyboard suggestions pretend to no longer even know my name when I sign emails or complete some web forms…

      It has been autocorrecting valid words into other random words lately. It is incredibly frustrating. I know what I typed. Stop trying to change it.

      Or they are already doing the AI bullshit, which is why it sucks more than usual.
