We've all been there. You mean to type a simple phrase like “What do you want for lunch today? and it comes across as, “What do you it want for launch tidy? Autocorrect mistakes are so commonplace, and have been for so long, that we barely even acknowledge them anymore unless they're unintentionally hilarious.

After decades and billions of devices sold, not to mention that meteoric rise of machine learning and Al, autocorrect feels just as dumb as ever. In some ways it feels like it has regressed, even, making nonsensical substitutions when a simple letter swap would produce the correct word. Is autocorrect just really hard? Or is it not even trying to work the way it needs to? Is it no longer a priority?
