My cynical mind says they broke autocomplete to encourage voice to text which is a much more rich data mining avenue than text only. Think of what all information about yourself can be determined just from your voice, which passes through Google servers when you use their voice to text and they most definitely keep.
Just a shot in the dark here, but maybe they aren’t accounting for code switching between different apps on your phone and that is skewing your prediction algorithm. You’re phone is guess at what word you’re typing based on everything you’ve ever typed and not just what you text in the messenger app.
I remember a time when autocorrect was terrible then it became good and then, terrible again. What happened?

They switched to using gpt2 lol
I’m not fluent in neural network systems, but I thought it was NLP in the early 10s and not GPT.
Yea, then they switched.
When? I don’t see that any where.
I may be mixing up correction and prediction, although I think the two are related. https://jackcook.com/2023/09/08/predictive-text.html
That makes sense. I’m not sure how they are related, but it’s not my field. I wonder what prediction used before gpt.
This was an interesting read.
I don’t ever remember it being good, and I predate cell phones.
