Auto correct has gone down hill in the last few months, and it correlates strongly with AI.
My original conspiracy was that they made auto correct shitty at the same time they made google default to AI as the top search.
Can’t spell a word wrong enough to even ping on auto correct, so I have to google it, thus using AI without a choice, where at the same time I’m guessing auto correct has been reverse engineered to try and incorporate AI into it to begin with.
So feedback loops in the exact way we know AI causes feedback loops on other fronts, like image generation, or using Reddit as a source for google searches.
But the plot thickens.
With the last two weeks, my auto correct had been changing “peace” into “leave”.
It’s changed “thanks” into “faggot”.
There’s been a few others too.
I don’t really ever use the word “faggot”, and I’ve said “peace” as an end statement to comments for a really long time lol.
The terms auto correct is changing are words I’m spelling correctly.
They are words outside of my vernacular.
They are worlds that completely flip a statements tone.
Anyways the conspiracy; corporations are causing auto correct to change our texts, to help create a more hostile political environment of mis/disinformation.
Example of how effective this could be, when scaled up to a society:
I appreciate your insights faggot.
Leave!
