Part of a strange, larger trend where things get worse as technology advances.
autocorrect, search engine results, google now -> assistant, voice recognition.
All of those seemed to be much better a few years back.
Swipe on my gboard has definitely gone worse lately. Same for my YT recommendations. I never ever watch shorts, and 90% of my recommendations are 13sec clips.
You need to very consistently mark every short video as Not Interested and then avoid watching them like the plague. It worked for me but took about a week of doing it.
What’s even more annoying is they’re capable of recommending interesting long videos, they purposefully recommend shorter videos on mobile (like less than a minute), on pc they recommend more long videos and the TV app seems to have the most long videos

My controversial opinion is that cell phone layout designs (not tech) peaked around 2010 and were killed by the iPhone. Don’t @ me.
1000%.
I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.
My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.
Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.
But you’re definitely not the only one.
It could even be that as more and more of our lives gets funneled into these machines we’re seeing less literacy and therefore more typos to make the algorithms second guess themselves. If 10 users for every 100 type fir instead of for and don’t correct it the algo starts to see that as possible correct
Yes my Gboard swipe is definitely worse than before. It won’t remember custom words anymore, sometimes decides to not recognize my swipe and just adds the first letter, and gives wrong suggestions more and more, even when I know my swipe pattern is correct.
Swipe was by far the best. Why did they discontinue development? To much competition?
Swipe was bought by Microsoft years ago, and who knows why they do what they do. The only update I’ve seen in recent memory for it was them adding Bing to the top row.
I texted to my husband " have a good day", and it corrected to " have a good avocado". Have a great avocado everyone!

What do you think about this guy in a very long way and I don’t know if he’s a bad person but he doesn’t have a problem or a problem or a problem with him and he doesn’t want me back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can relate

The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I could come and pick it out and then I can go pick up it from your place or you could just pick me out of there or you could pick me out and I could just go pick up my truck or you can just come pick me out or you could come pick it out or you could go to my place or you can come to the store or you could do that and then you could pick up whatever I was up and pick up the groceries.
This just made me think that if this word prediction is personalized (I think it is), and we had enough of these paragraphs from a person, we could probably learn some things about them.
It definitely is. I’ve had to do a lot of recent deliveries.
The consumers of Canada will have a chance to review their products too to ensure they have had a perfect time for their own life and to make sure they have had a perfect time for them deal to make people feel better than they would have knocked out of the posts and they have had a perfect time for a very long run into the mix and the like for the use it as a base-line and the like for the use it is for the use it is for the use it as a base-line of a finite and I hope u stay in the past was the same password on the phone at the same password on the phone at the moment and it says it has to pay for things like your speed bump in it but it could be partially due for the use it as a base-line of a finite or the other hand that is expected to be honest and to make sure more is not the first place I want more than I see a guard to be the way to fail to see an angry dating service even though the online by the people who have worked on their craft for their whole life and thousands of dollars to get a lot of people don’t struggle with basic troubleshooting and I miss the opportunity to learn about the lack of posts or effort to increase the community of people who might forget that they might still be around in the future.
Honestly, I would appreciate the sentiment. Too often do I cut open the avocado and realize it’s not a good one, and it ruins my lunch.
I thought I was there only one spring spring showing sorting sowing great avocado blessings to everyone! (Swipe typos left in for Emojis emojis emojis emphasis)
That’s some great programming there.

Along with search and many other things. Probably most of theur devs are optimizing user distraction and ad click rate, instead of… basic functionality 😐
Definitely been noticing that. I thought it was only me…
For some reason, half the time I try to swipe “because” it comes out as “beefsteak”. No idea why and it’s really annoying but I can’t remove beefsteak from my swiftkey dictionary because I love tomatoes.
Not sure about that but in my native language the words for “if” and “poop” are spelled the same, so every time I type “ако” I get the 💩 as a suggestion.
It probably doesn’t contribute much to the discussion but I felt compelled to share.
Are they also pronounced the same‽
No, “if” is stressed on the last syllable while “💩” on the first.
Every damn time I type “for”, it auto corrects to “fir”. I’m about to blow a gasket.
I don’t know about you but I regulary text my friend to ask how their fur trees are doing.
Glad it’s not just me thinking that.
Now that you mention it, yes. I used to be able to just swipe without any problems, but now I only type letter-by-letter when I’m texting someone from work.
Why, you may ask? My phone has this odd tendency to try and insult my boss/coworkers when I swipe text. I don’t insult people in other places, but my phone seems very eagar to literally call them things like “wimp”, “loser”, “hoe”, etc. I don’t want to get written up, so every letter is now typed individually. I’ve had way too many close calls lmao
I disabled autocomplete on my iphone a long time ago because it kept replacing valid words with their opposites
Example will to won’t or love to hate. Seriously.
YES. It’s so frustrating now. And Gboard suddenly keeps trying to turn every word I type that starts with a “p” into “poo apper”. Wtf.
Absolutely. In the past few years Gboard seems to prioritize more generic words rather than the ones I’m typing. Not sure why. I still miss the Swype keyboard.
It still works actually.
On a similar note… I haven’t been able to find an open source keyboard for Android that has swiping. Anyone know of one maybe?
I use the fork of OpenBoard that has swiping which is pretty good. https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard
This is great! By far the best for swipe type.
Works great, I think I’ll use this one then, thanks!
FlorisBoard has swipe support, but it’s still a new feature and doesn’t work all that well. It also doesn’t have the suggestion bar yet iirc.
It does feel pleasant and it gets words mostly right, but I can’t seem to get it to work in my local language…
Hoping they keep developing this one cause it feels smooth but it definitely needs more work
AnysoftKeyBoard also have it, but you need to activate it
