@gregeganSF So autocomplete is no longer just guessing the word you are currently typing? What is it doing now, filling in whole sentences? Paragraphs?

I literally have not used autocomplete in maybe a decade. I always immediately turn it off on any device or program I use, before doing anything else, because I found it so annoying.

Fuck AI.
