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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 10 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's been doing it more and more for me on Futo as well as time has gone on, but I keep the app disconnected from the internet (GrapheneOS setting) so it shouldn't be impacted by anything other than training.

It was happening even when I went a while without updating it.

Something makes me think it might be a little self-reinforcing. You get a bad suggestion, you don't instantly correct it (e.g you press space and then go back to correct it), the app originally assumes you wanted the faulty change, doesn't backtrack after since you already pressed space)

Maybe I should just turn down the effect or just disable training entirely and see if that changes anything.

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

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

I mean they've already added AI functionality to gboard to eg make the text more or less formal or as more emojis.

I just tried it out and it deleted this text...

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Mallard fucks are my favorite

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

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

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 1 month ago

The iPhone dictionary is a puritanical joke.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 11 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.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 1 month 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

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.

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

What the d*ck?

[–] 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"

Nothing apple makes will ever top this segment of their conference

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 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.

[–] 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).

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

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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