Normally i would disagree completely as texts have crappy input on a small screen and are meant to be fast. I have typos in mine constantly because swide input and it's obvious what the word should have been.

But yeah, an important text like this does merit at least one read through.

My texts are rubbish because, somehow, the keyboard predictions & autocorrect are worse now than 5 years ago. We have LLMs barfing out fully coherent sentences on their own, how does this even happen.

I swear to god this drives me nuts. It was fine years ago. Now it’s ass. What the fuck?

I think it has to do with the architecture. Just a wild guess, but I assume that the design is susceptible to indeterminate results based on device performance. Because it’s really fucking bad when my phone gets a little hot.

My guess is that modern phones are doing 50x more shit than they need to. So passive QoL features like autocorrect are being choked.

Yeah, we could have functional input but no we have to destroy our planet to summarize a one sentence email into a multi-paragraph bulleted list - it's bullshit

on android Heliboard + the swype library is ok. It's at least consistent.
