Tor Lillqvist<p>När jag skrev "älg" nyss så blev det "älgebra". (Vilket iofs kanske är en bättre svensk translitteration av den ursprungliga arabiskan än "algebra"?)

Ah, another existential crisis sparked by #AI, because clearly, nothing screams #originality like a text written by #Skynet 🤖✍️. Your friend's articulate message wasn't penned by him? Shocking! Next, you'll tell us water is wet and AI is just a glorified #autocorrect 😂.

Decoded · You Sent the Message. But Did You Write It?By David Duncan
Replied in thread

@technews #Apple (so-called) "intelligence" continues to impress me every day (#irony ), for example in my #messages with its so clever #autocorrect :

I spoke a few times with a guy named Andrew.
Since then, every *single* time I type "and" in a message, it replaces it with Andrew!

You have no clue how many times friends asked me why I texted them with stuff like: "I'm at the shop, I'll bring back salad Andrew tomatoes"

🤦

#enshittification is everywhere, run away while you can!

PS: I selling my #iPhone and #MacbookAir to get a #FairPhone and #Tuxedo computer ASAP 🤩

I should make and collect more screenshot of #autocorrect fails … I mean, look at this one 🤪 I see more and more of such complete nonsense even when typing correctly let alone when I made a small mistake by not hitting the right key or, as I bet, the keyboard refused to let me hit the correct key on the display
