For this thread, the iPhone keyboard is getting worse every year. I have more and more typos and it sometimes randomly inserts several words in place of one or two letters.

Yep. Half of my texts look like I learned to speak English a day ago. I’m not exactly sure why the predictive spell check either doesn’t do its job or makes really shitty assumptions

For instance, just in this message, I got: half my tests, speed cheek and shorty assumptions

Yeah, the autofill or predictive text on iPhones is absolute garbage compared to Android phones. Also, they make it almost impossible to go back and correct an inadvertent letter from a fat-thumbed typo, forcing you to delete the entire word rather than just fixing a small mistake within the word.

Fuck that, I jest let it go.

You know.....tasks like verifying the accuracy and sourcing of data, shit like that.

I like sending texts with lots of typos and autofill induced errors. It’s a real power move that shows the recipient that you can’t dedicate too much effort to them and shifts the burden onto them to decipher what you mean. 
 

Kind of like when you get a carefully crafted and thoughtful email and then you respond with something like “GR8, thx :)”

Even if they were right.  Gosh, nothing could be better for humanity than to be told, en masse, "you're completely unnecessary."  Nothing makes people HAPPIER than being....not needed.  Right?

Jesus fuck.  These people are fucking sociopaths, incapable of even grasping what it is to be human, so of COURSE they have no problem bulldozing and destroying the very essence of what it is to be human.  Take all that away, and leave us to....what?  Sit in basements, wallowing in a completely purposeless existence?  And don't give me any bullshit about "no, now you're free to engage in creative pursuits!" -- pursuits of WHAT?  Art?  AI will do all that, too.  Truth?  Why, to what end?  After all, we've already "solved" everything.  And....with what fucking resources?  Are you going to pay us and deliver us food for us providing the service of.....merely existing?  A universal basic income that is indeed "universal," because NOBODY is doing ANYTHING that earns money?

Destroy human purpose and dignity.  And call it a success.  MAdness.

Bill Gates saying that is just, well, idiotic. He’s a self-centered moron, a rich one, but a moron nonetheless. Going to rich people for their thoughts on humanity is like going to aggy for advice on fielding a national championship caliber football team. Both are pointless endeavors.

I am convinced AI will never gain critical mass and take over the world. After almost daily use of the word 'Cheeto' it still goes with Chito, which I have never used once.
I turn off auto correct, but voice text is still a fucking joke.

Agreed.

It still may well convince enough powerful people that it’s good enough to be put in places that end up causing the demise of humanity but the end will likely be the result of some routine task the fucking thing can’t complete.

I’ve have learned a new appreciation and respect for students who are bad writers, since they are likely not cheating and failing honestly.

1 - Too bad the Dean didn’t see it that way when I was matriculating at UT during the early 60s. 
2 - No kidding, and it’s even worse when I don’t proofread before posting replies.

Wow no way

Nah. It's in alignment with the new and improved FTC purpose: 

The FTC's mission is protecting the public from deceptive or unfair business practices ... unless that mission takes money out of some CEO's and shareholders pockets. Then, just joshing, fuck them consumers.

I mean, I gotta tell ya....it's kinda fascinating to watch entities like the FTC and the CFPB going full-on ANTI-consumer in their mission.  Across the board, when it comes to regulating unscrupulous business conduct, the motto of our government is now "Dear American People: Fuck You."

I wouldn't call it fascinating to watch the government transition to seeing the American taxpayer as the enemy
