autocorrect on our "smart" phones are worst than what does Word 95. I can't find an autocorrection that know the french grammar, but how it can pretend to be able to correct sentence if it doesn't even know how a phrase is built?

It's got to earn a living you know? If it doesn't reach its daily autocorrect quota it might get fired.

Try typing in another language especially if your language shares words with English but the words have slightly different meanings.

"But he doesn't have any clothes on!"

Are you using the stock iOS keyboard? Gboard has a much more survivable autocorrect in my experience

Machine learning brah

that’s skynet waking, disrupting our communication. Next phase: silent autocorrect so you don’t notice.

It's more the ones that are so stupid they think things like "dont" are wrong, which it is, technically, but have no idea that the correction is a simple apostrophe. Not one of the suggested corrections is "don't"

There "aren't" anything wrong with them ^_^

All I ever wanted was match ranking by statistical word frequency in the language, optionally adjusted by my personal usage. Weirdly, the best autocomplete ever for me was in the Nokia 920-era windows phones. Since switching to Android it's been much worse.

And sometimes Google Translate decides that it's fine to just ignore a negation, effectively inverting the meaning of the sentence. The magic of machine learning, I guess.
