    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.

    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.

    The way to fix this is to add shortcuts so all of your curse words are shortcuts to the curse word. So you put “shit” as the shortcut to “shit”

      True! I’ve had it like this on my phone for like what, 15 years now? It really does work. Also, you can do interesting macros.

    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.

      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 already have Shit head fucking fuckface (old boss) but I still get the duck. Voice to text is worse than typing it but both are ducking useless most times.

    I find autocorrect to be the stupid thing sometimes, I text my wife’s name often enough and its not a common name but you’d think that since I type it so often, that autocorrect would assume that I am typing it again but nope, it never guesses correctly. It can never autocorrect my last name either… EVEN WHEN I ADDED IT TO THE DICTIONARY

      Your autocorrect has ascended. This occurs after it has attempted to correct every cuss word. No one knows why this happens.

    Is this derived from the guy looking at other girl meme template? She has the exact same facial expression.

        Yes. All three are in a lot of these stock pictures, which are often variations on a theme or on each other.

        Someone once took a lot of them and made a story out of it. The guy ends up dead and the two women end up married, IIRC.

        FWIW, every time I’ve seen the most common meme where she’s getting jealous of the guy looking at the other woman my first immediate thought is “…but the brunette’s much hotter!” Maybe it’s just me.

        [edit] I wasn’t quite right about how the story ended. This site is awful, but it reposts the whole saga: https://awkward.com/unfaithful-guyjealous-girlfriend-meme-couple-entire-story-shutterstock/

        Honestly? This kind of shit is the stuff I love the most about the internet.
