    It already has. Autocorrect has gone to compete shit. Online news reports have become nothing but buzz words. Internet searches have become useless.

    All of these are results of companies switching from simple algorithms that were already proven to work just fine to “artificial” intelligence which is practically useless at this point for anything other than deep fakes or eldritch horror images.

      Why would advances in AI make autocorrect worse? I don’t use it because it sucks, but it’s always been like that.

        Because it was already established. The algorithm was already used to my word choice and was easily able to figure out what word I’m trying to use (I use swipe to text) and now I have to manually type out words I use regularly because the new ai system doesn’t know what the fuck I want.

        It’s like making a better mousetrap. Don’t fix what isn’t fuckin broken.

          I don’t know what you’re talking about. Autocorrect has always been just as bad as it is now. If newer systems were worse, why would they implement them?

      Online news reports have become nothing but buzz words

      Wasn’t that the case for the past decade or so already?

      I don’t see such an amazing difference in daily news unless maybe you’re reading some already worthless tabloid rags. Journalism has to be searched for and usually paid for. Free “news” sites were always clickbait and pointless reposts of real sources.
