I've been wondering if Google fucked something with Gboard recently. The autocorrections have been abysmal. Like 'dust' becoming 'dustDust'.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've intentionally regressed it to pave the way for some "AI-enhanced" bullshit that's just the original stuff.

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My brother in Christ, autocorrect & glide typing was AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.

[–] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.

"Machine learning" or "heuristics"-driven maybe. But they've got to milk their new garbage marketing terms by releasing the same old stuff under a new name unoe.

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 18 points 5 days ago

Tbh more chances they just started vibecoding and broke some legacy shit nobody knew how it functions and why it's there.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 days ago

Or they are already doing the AI bullshit, which is why it sucks more than usual.

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 10 points 5 days ago

It has been autocorrecting valid words into other random words lately. It is incredibly frustrating. I know what I typed. Stop trying to change it.

[–] xploit@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

It's been bad for me ever since they wanted to "use" more of my data including relating to keyboard (like the fucking don't already) and if you "rejected" then it wouldn't use your history LOL.
Auto-complete keyboard suggestions pretend to no longer even know my name when I sign emails or complete some web forms...

I went to Gboard and cleared my cache/data (was like 1.4gb or some shit.). Curious to see how much different it is.

Futo keyboard does it too, I think its an issue in android itself as a result, either that or they've similar implementations

*piece of shut

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's intentional, and it's censorship. Someone ought to make a comms app with inbuilt autocorrect that does the opposite and makes all your typos offensive instead.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

i don't think it's censorship so much as it is erring on the side of not inserting a fuck where it doesn't belong.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I decide where my fucks belong, not my app. We can talk about implicit bias here because I just don't trust giant corporations anymore, but the app telling me I didn't mean what I did, whether we want to assert innocence and good will on behalf of the designer, is still censorious. That's my point.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

the whole point of having autocorrect is for it to correct your mistakes. but definition you're delegating decision making to your app. with that delegation the app maker would rather not get in trouble for not correcting someone's intended duck and leaving it as a swearword. if you don't want your app to decide where your fucks belong, turn off autocorrect.

or use something other than iOS. if anything my keyboard guesses I'm trying to swear too frequently now.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Look I KNOW the point of it, stated and unstated, laregly it's a mechanic to avoid liability in, well liable; It's sold to us as some convenient buddy to make our lives easier, I'm not new, I'm just cynically rejecting it. It would be just as easy for the makers to include in the contract that your own consequential fuckups are exclusively yours and using the app assumes that condition. I turned it off wherever applicable long ago and never looked back. I am also the type to review my message before hitting send to see if I made mistakes and correct them manually anyway. I think it's better to stay mindful than to get complacent and just let the app pilot your conversations, it really gives that added authenticity to the swearing too ;].

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Some time ago I created an autocorrect to change (the d word) into "fuck" which is very problematic when the subject of our fowl friends comes up.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

so they became your foul friends

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's supposed to learn on how you adopt spellings you type. On iOS, it's seemingly impossible to "teach" the OS you actually want to use profanity instead of birds.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

really? on Android i almost have the opposite problem. because my keyboard does learn from me, I have come close to using profanity (and straight up vulgarity) in very inappropriate situations.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's been working the opposite way for me the last few days

Mallard fucks are my favorite

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How consistently do you talk about ducks that it occurs with enough frequency for you to register that?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

It happened that day, so i noticed

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago
[–] Prox@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

Better title would be

LEARN YOU PIECE OF SHIP

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

i leave it off

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Lean you peace of shirt

[–] DasAlbatross@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

The iPhone dictionary is a puritanical joke.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I find autocorrect to be the stupid thing sometimes, I text my wife's name often enough and its not a common name but you'd think that since I type it so often, that autocorrect would assume that I am typing it again but nope, it never guesses correctly. It can never autocorrect my last name either... EVEN WHEN I ADDED IT TO THE DICTIONARY

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

I have it turned off. Yeah sometimes I mistype and have to go back and correct a word, but dammit my mistakes are at least my own

Why do y'all leave autocorrect enabled? Just turn it off already

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Go to your contacts.

Make a new contact

First name Shit Fuck

Last name Fucking Fucker

You will never have a problem again.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

I already have Shit head fucking fuckface (old boss) but I still get the duck. Voice to text is worse than typing it but both are ducking useless most times.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Duck you autocorrect, I hope your creators will go go heel!

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I switched to the monstrosity in the photo a while back and while it sure took a bit to get used too, i prefer fighting my own dyslexia and fat ~~fingers~~ thumps over fighting autocorrect.

It's called Thump-Key.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Lmfao, I think there's a typo in there 😂

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Don't your hands have 4 fingers and 1 thump?

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well i did bring up my dyslexia 🙃

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

All good friend, just a funny thing to see considering the context.

The way to fix this is to add shortcuts so all of your curse words are shortcuts to the curse word. So you put "shit" as the shortcut to "shit"

Switch to Heliboard, it's one of the few remaining keyboards that haven't been turned into pure garbage.
