On 4th of June, 1989, in Tiananmen square, Beijing, nothing particularly interesting happened.
It’s probably good if my phone doesn’t call my mother a cunt while telling her I’m bringing the cocaine by default, but I should be able to toggle that.
just give it to me, and i’ll bring that cunt her blow
Apple autocorrect and suggestions are pure shit. Especially on the touch swipe keyboard; it will just straight up make up words
I think it got even worse when they went to “AI” (Aborted Intelligence) in 2024, and they just have too much hubris to fix it
Is the keyboard on iOS getting worse every year or am I in the early stages of some horrific degenerative disease?
The keyboard and speech to text are getting notably worse and have been for years. I’ve been somewhat of an Apple defender over the years, but you are not imagining it. I’ve used androids and iPhones to compare them for accessibility purposes and the iPhone used to be significantly better. I keep my tech for as long as possible, but I’ve on more than one occasion thought about jumping ship just because the worsening text capabilities sometimes makes my phone unusable for basic communication purposes.
They trimmed a huge amount of terminology and an abundance of everyday words, and made it check grammar and punctuation despite the fact that it is objectively terrible at both. It is a fair bit worse now than 10 years ago.
Is yours ancient like mine? I thought the same but went into a shop and specifically tried the keyboard of a demo 17 and it worked as well as I recall it used to. Either that or we have the same disease. 50-50 at this point.
Is a 16 consdered ancient? I def know people who reup every year or two but that seems crazy wasteful.
Damn well that dashes my hopes then. I’ll meet you in the retirement home early I guess. I’m running an XR in a perhaps bordering on excessive attempt to counter said yearly reup culture.
What most people call “algorithms” are not algorithms, artificial intelligences have replaced math formulas to back the recommendations your phone makes to you. Welcome to techno-feudalism!
that’s literally algorithms lol.
Algorithms are based on logic whereas LLMs are based on learning. LLMs have a layer of semantic understanding, which makes them more powerful.
laughs in sw engineer.
Artificial intelligence itself is a series of math formulas on very big vectors though.
I feel like this should be regulated. We should not let private interests arbitrarily mold our speech just because that speech is being mediated by platforms that they create.
Edit: For the record, I’m not making a free speech absolutist argument.
Double plus good point.
Mold our speech, tell us what we can or can’t watch on the internet, and teach the general public to self-censor.
I hate this modern day bullshit. Just let me watch the pron I want, say the shit I want, when I want.
Self censoring by mis-spelling the word porn is quite the touch of irony in a comment like this on a platform like this
I was typing fast give me a fucking break. Childlike responses like that are why we’re in the shit we are now.
Your word thinking is double plus bad
I mean, I get slurs and stuff but drugs, sex, chauvinist? Like the one scenario it makes sense is to avoid Karens suing because a kid mashes the keyboard on the device they handed off raising their kids to, and ends up on an inappropriate website or something. Freeze peach barely even enters into it. Edit: I’ve worded this poorly I mean it seems like something more overt than a free speech issue. Like something that started as liability shielding that blew out. Ah well.
Even if it’s a kid using your phone, they still aren’t trying to type “ducking”.
Tech billionaires/CEOs are all weird control onsessed perverts and sickos trying to modify users beliefs rather than making good technology that serves users.
What kind of sick fucks spend their time on this 1984 bullshit. The fuckwits.
They’re trying to outlaw/make it as hard as possible to access porn and it’s fucking ridiculous.
It shouldn’t be like that, but go into the dictionary and autocorrect whatever it tries to change it from, or make an abbreviation etc. I forced mine to stop saying “duck” instead of the fuck word.
the fuck word.
Oh? And which word is that, exactly? hehehe
It’s kind of funny. Some years back when I used to use Gboard I had to opposite problem
I wanted to text a friend to meet at the Golden Nugget Casino.
It has a bigger parking lot and a buffet.
Gboard would try to change those words to racial slurs. Had to go into the dictionary override settings and specifically delete certain words so it would never suggest them
You know Gboard uses all your typing history to make suggestions, right?
(just teasing you)
In case you didn’t read, this is for swiping. If you type the example listed “United Ireland” that is okay. Try swiping that same thing and you are autocorrected to United Iceland.
I don’t know anyone that swipes.
Hi, me, I do a lot of swipe input. On Android, though.
Yeah, I don’t have patience to type if it’s not a real keyboard. Swiping is what I’ve done for years on my Android phones.
I swipe. Everyone I know swipes. When I used an iPhone, swipe was the sole reason I installed Gboard. I think you might have to be of a very specific age to be able to tap-type as fast as you can swipe.
But also, I injure my thumb (dry skin, it cracks) often enough that I can’t use that for my primary input method. Not being ancient yet, I can’t imagine tap-typing with just my forefinger.
