#autocorrect

I should make and collect more screenshot of #autocorrect fails … I mean, look at this one 🤪 I see more and more of such complete nonsense even when typing correctly let alone when I made a small mistake by not hitting the right key or, as I bet, the keyboard refused to let me hit the correct key on the display

Samsung keyboard, I need a word. Or several.

One need not place a comma before every conjunction. It is, in fact, breaking the flow and tensibility of my writing; not to mention the occasional rule of punctuation.

And I've told you this.

So can you stop nannying me? I know my English isn't perfect but the point of my writing on your big, dumb, ugly screen is communication. I do this quite well without your unnecessary, big-headed infantilisation.

Yours fucktastically,

Book

Do you know what is infuriating about AI assisted dictation and grammar checking? It's that it bases its deductions on what most other people have done, in other words what is most frequently written, a significant number of which seem to have been written by the functionally illiterate. It's not what you've written in the past but what the zeitgeist frequently writes. As a result, it inserts strange pronouns, words that don't fit, and corrects your proper word choice to something totally inappropriate because that's what everybody else is writing. Using AI dumbs down your writing.

Totally useless for an author!

(Case in point: Dictation was used to write this post. It insisted on changing "dumbs down" to "thumbs down" repeatedly, despite it showing the word dumbs for a fraction of a second!)
