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.

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

[–] Boxscape 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 10 points 2 months 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 2 months 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...

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

Mallard fucks are my favorite

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months 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 1 month ago

It happened that day, so i noticed

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (7 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.

Better title would be

LEARN YOU PIECE OF SHIP

[–] DasAlbatross@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The iPhone dictionary is a puritanical joke.

[–] thisbenzingring 15 points 2 months 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 2 months 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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's the same way about my kid's name.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

*piece of shut

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mine autocorrects normal words to cuss words.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Your autocorrect has ascended. This occurs after it has attempted to correct every cuss word. No one knows why this happens.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll give this a go. I should stop using swiftkey

You should be able to add words to your dictionary and delete some too

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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"

What the d*ck?

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (2 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.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What layout is this? Qwertz?

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

a self-modified quertz layout, yes. I type in english and german. This layout is better suited to writing german, but works well enough with english (for me).

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

Well i did bring up my dyslexia 🙃

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

These companies are using this shit to train LLMs. It’s the only way it makes sense for the predictions to be this terrible all the time

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I saw this recently and all of my frustrations with the keyboard were suddenly justified. I knew it was getting measurably worse over time, but then someone went and measured it: https://youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this derived from the guy looking at other girl meme template? She has the exact same facial expression.

[–] Megabazos@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes. All three are in a lot of these stock pictures, which are often variations on a theme or on each other.

Someone once took a lot of them and made a story out of it. The guy ends up dead and the two women end up married, IIRC.

FWIW, every time I’ve seen the most common meme where she’s getting jealous of the guy looking at the other woman my first immediate thought is “…but the brunette’s much hotter!” Maybe it’s just me.

[edit] I wasn’t quite right about how the story ended. This site is awful, but it reposts the whole saga: https://awkward.com/unfaithful-guyjealous-girlfriend-meme-couple-entire-story-shutterstock/

Honestly? This kind of shit is the stuff I love the most about the internet.
