I was actually thinking just this morning that if there’s ONE area where AI could really make a difference, it’s in predictive text on keyboards. How many times do I have to type “Roman Empire,” say, before the keyboard suggests “Empire” the next time I type “Roman”? The keyboard doesn’t even recommend my own last name when I type my first name.

Except reading the article, this is anything BUT that. It’s some AI-generated art stuff so you can create custom stickers or some useless shit like that.

Doesn’t Google Keyboard already do this? It definitely auto-completes common phrases for me. I mean stupid example but I post about Diablo 3 and 4 a decent amount and if I type Diablo it predicts the next word as 3 or 4.
Yepp, it learns over time from my inputs too. I started to recognize my own phrases/word order in suggestions. It’s probably a setting somewhere.
