I suspect this is what’s happening. They’ve gone from a prescriptive ‘pre-programmed’ autocorrect to a more AI based ‘machine learning’ one. Hopefully this means it’ll eventually improve, although I don’t know why it’s taking so long.
I feel like they gathered data, studied it, and wrote a prescriptive autocorrect that IMO was perfectly fine and was still pretty good at catching words I was most likely to use.
Then, all of a sudden, it turned into fucking scrabble and I find myself going, “WTF are you thinking autocorrect?”
Not sure when the change started but it’s officially shitty now.

(I could be wrong about all of this, of course.)
Yeah, this is precisely what I’ve been thinking.
