    Mine just gives me the wrong version of there every time. And inexplicably can’t auto suggest any word over six letters long. Also it swaps basic words the make me look brain damaged. SwiftKey and Gboard, kids. Not even once.

    It’s intentional, and it’s censorship. Someone ought to make a comms app with inbuilt autocorrect that does the opposite and makes all your typos offensive instead.

      i don’t think it’s censorship so much as it is erring on the side of not inserting a fuck where it doesn’t belong.

        Some time ago I created an autocorrect to change (the d word) into “fuck” which is very problematic when the subject of our fowl friends comes up.

        It’s supposed to learn on how you adopt spellings you type. On iOS, it’s seemingly impossible to “teach” the OS you actually want to use profanity instead of birds.

          really? on Android i almost have the opposite problem. because my keyboard does learn from me, I have come close to using profanity (and straight up vulgarity) in very inappropriate situations.

    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 that’s just the original stuff.

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

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

        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.

        It’s been doing it more and more for me on Futo as well as time has gone on, but I keep the app disconnected from the internet (GrapheneOS setting) so it shouldn’t be impacted by anything other than training.

        It was happening even when I went a while without updating it.

        Something makes me think it might be a little self-reinforcing. You get a bad suggestion, you don’t instantly correct it (e.g you press space and then go back to correct it), the app originally assumes you wanted the faulty change, doesn’t backtrack after since you already pressed space)

        Maybe I should just turn down the effect or just disable training entirely and see if that changes anything.

      I mean they’ve already added AI functionality to gboard to eg make the text more or less formal or as more emojis.

      I just tried it out and it deleted this text…

    I switched to the monstrosity in the photo a while back and while it sure took a bit to get used too, i prefer fighting my own dyslexia and fat fingers thumps over fighting autocorrect.

    It’s called Thump-Key.
