This was kinda overstated though. It really only works when you already have a dataset of that specific type on that specific keyboard. It’s not gonna just work on anyone.
Good distinction. I imagine anyone typing into a google search bar with an android device nearby could have their keyboard mapped though, if Google ever wanted to do such a thing.
It’s so fucking annoying how I can’t turn grammar check off in google docs on my phone. I’m not sure how bad grammar check is if you write in English, but in Finnish it’s such a clusterfuck because it always tries to ‘correct’ compound words and doesn’t understand declension.
It’s tolerable if you’re writing something quite prescribed; business reports, perhaps. It’s too limited and obsessed with tedious bullshit if you’re writing prose, say. It wouldn’t do to express yourself.
I use a Windows PC for work with Chrome because we are on G suite and it’s just easier that way. I am constantly annoyed by how terrible the spellcheck is within chrome. It did not used to be this bad. It highlights “thier” as misspelled but only suggests thief theirs and shier. Yeah… ok google. Expect me to believe that when AI is in every thing. I can run a LLM on same the laptop OFFLINE. Word 93 knew to autocorrect to their with no internet and no ai. Of course you get frustrated, go to settings and see this stupid little toggle. Fucking Google already… it will only get worse. They’re already key-logging you they just want to pay out less on a future class action settlement. Like the one they just settled for tracking user data during incognito sessions. God damned Google. Oh sorry, I mean aLpHaBeT. You guys like letters now do ya Google? Well here are my faves. F and U !
I’ve always wondered how that works. Are their databases just too large and it fucks up returns or is there someone smart out there purposely returning bad searches constantly to ruin their spell check. Is their dev inept? Lol.
Gboard was my go to for ages but finding a different keyboard on mobile has not been fun for off brand phones.
Jokes on you humanity, hitting ‘no’ is just another data point that they can use to compare you to millions of other people and use the aggregate data to predict what you’re probably going to do anyway.
Not super exciting story, but this just happened like 10mins ago. I was looking for Radon Mitigiation service near me and made a typo and spelled Radon as “Rason”, it autocorrected to “Ramen”.
Zealotry convinced me to go vegan. After a few months on r/vegancirclejerk listening to them make fun of carnist rationalisations, I realised I really didn’t have an excuse for eating meat.
I expect you not to pay people to kill innocents, regardless of the intelligence of the victim, because I do not believe in fascist arguments that the less capable are less deserving of decent treatment.
