I don’t even know what to say here, if my partner pulled this I’d be serving them that expired milk…

    Goddammit, is “sanity check” an AI phrase now? Are we going to have to constantly reinvent language just to stay ahead of AI ingesting it and regurgitating it? It already killed the emdash.

      That’s quite literally what they do, copy everything around them.

      Yesterday my phone autocorrected an hyphen into an emdash, and I had to go undo it like 3 separate times before it stopped

      It also regularly auto corrects words I meant to type that are spelled correctly because it determines it likes a different word more in a different context (the word it switches to usually doesn’t even work in the context of my text)

      Why in the fuck would it do that, and why can’t I turn it off?!

      I’m good with spellcheck, but automatically changing my word choices is fucked up, annoying, and super dumb

          Yeah, someone else told me that too

          Just got home from work and I’m about to look up how to do it, lol

        I’ve fully turned autocorrect off on my phone. Never turned it on on my desktop. It’ll underline words it thinks are wrong, but if there are going to be any spelling errors in my texts, they’re gonna be 100% organic, dammit. Texting is definitely slower this way, but a lot less frustrating.

          I do the same and I gotta say it is a ton better.

          But

          Most of those typos aren’t even remotely organic. There is absolutely no reason I should hit the wrong key six times in a row when I try to re-write the word correctly, excruciatingly slowly to get it right, yet every other letter is identically correct between iterations.

          Phone keyboards are just pure trash, is all. We’ve had decades to get them right and just haven’t bothered.
