Yeah, this is precisely what I’ve been thinking.
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.
At least a couple years ago I'd say, and it affects voice to text recognition as well.
