My phone just tried correcting the word “saw” to “seen” in a grammatically incorrect context. I had to fix it twice because it changed the word when I finished typing the damn sentence, and then changed it again when I started typing the next sentence.

So basically specialized programs for autorcorrection are being replaced by general purpose “AI” models, even though they are not as good and they produce worse outcomes for the user.
We are witnessing the ens###ification for software.

Absolutely.
So, I think I mentioned it elsewhere but the T on my tablet is starting to miss. I don’t know, there must be a spot on the capacitive screen which is losing sensitivity, but this has coincided with my autocorrect somehow disabling itself.
I’m frequently having to go through and add almost every T that I thought I typed back into a sentence, and sometimes I just miss like 3 of them and then find it later. This has also proved difficult in certain instances of spelling and grammar where the autocorrect would have been welcome and is no longer doing it’s job.
I really have no idea what is going on with this piece of crap, but I almost yearn for the bad autocorrect over no autocorrect. This is the very depth of laziness rearing it’s ugly head.

Suggestion, seriously try using dictation mode - at least when you’re at home or otherwise in a place where you could talk into your phone/ computer. On my iPhone it works mostly well, although I have to go back and change a few words here and there usually. On my computer it actually works a bit better. Might be less of a pain than going back and scouring every single thing you ever type for the letter T.
As a bonus, commanding my computer to do things by voice makes me feel like I’m living in Star Trek.

I turned off autocorrect completely on my phone about six months ago once it started “correcting” already correct words into more common words/phrases. Never looked back.
I also turned on haptic typing, which I really love…these together make the phone feel like a little typewriter

one time my boss sent out an email that autocorrected a kids name that started with a Z and ended in a Y into “Zaddy.” he brushed it off as an autocorrect error but all of us employees were like “damn how often is he typing Zaddy in his phone”

Yes, although I wouldn’t say it happened suddenly. It was a slow, but constant deterioration over the last couple of months / years. I think they’re being taught using the text off of the Internet and people in general care way less about grammar, punctuation, etc. to the point where “there”, “their” and “they’re” are synonyms now, and they “shouldn’t off”
