AI becoming a pain

[digital paradise]

Since updating my Mac to Sonoma not only does it try to predict the next word as I write, now it tries to write whole sentences. I've noticed this on other sites as well. You can't see what you are writing. I finally just kept writing and then it disappeared. Not sure if Sonoma or Safari is doing that. I have not explored how to turn that off yet. I was not sure what was going on at first. I thought it was specific to this site because it was new and bugs were being worked out but nope. Chat boxes I guess? I'm not clear on the actual tech.

Overall I find auto correct in general to be a pain. They try and improve it and it gets weird.

now it tries to write whole sentences

Seriously? That's creepy. And annoying... Turn it off.

EDIT: To turn if off on Mac go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Input sources: Edit and there you will see an option to turn it off.

I did a quick search to find it. Spelling and "Prediction".

"Spelling and prediction"

That is really creepy...

 

[i-G12]

PITA to be sure.

Dear auto correct, it is NEVER duck.

That would drive me nuts, and I depend heavily on spellcheckers!

I do to but enough is enough.

I need it for "Sausage Finger Syndrome". That is what we call it when we text spouses, friends, etc and mess up the spelling.

One of the best guitarists I've ever had the pleasure to see perform has sausage fingers. I don't know how he do it, but he do.

Yours isn't working...(too)...

Can Sonoma auto-correct my photos? I'm still on the previous MAC OS.

Just to let you all know, "auto predictive text" also spurts out American English, even though I'm in Japan, and have everything set as "British English".
Phraseology I've never heard of, or would ever use.
Sentence construction which feels backwards to me.
Suggestions to use adjectives and not adverbs.
For example: "real good", as opposed to "really good".

AI needs to be reigned in as soon as possible. Otherwise, the joy of living within one culture, whilst learning about another will be taken away from us.

That's because the American education standards are orders of magnitude below other English speaking countries...

True, our foster son just finished intermediate school last year...lucky he's got a real high IQ and reads a lot, because what the school gave him was next to nothing...

When i moved to NZ (age 10) from Wales, I got a year and a half to 2 year holiday while my classmates caught up...I believe it's the other way around now...

I graduated in 1970. About 25 years later (give or take) my old university invited back the graduates from that time for tours etc. I was on a group tour of the chemistry building with one of the lecturers and in the course of telling us about what's new, he said that they now offer a four year MChem degree. After a short pause he added that he thought that would be about the same level as our 3 year BSc. No further comment needed.

If it was true Ai and using your inputs to train itself, I would be for that, much like some of the voice recognition software. It gets better the more it's used. Unfortunately, I think they use some algorithm using the whole user community. So it really isn't Ai, but just lame auto-fill code.

To the person that invented autocorrect, may they roast in p!ss
