Even the iOS and macOS typing correction engine has been getting worse for me over the past few OS updates. I’m now typing this on iOS, and it’s really annoying how it injects completely unrelated words, replaces minor typos with completely irrelevant words. Same in Safari on macOS. The previous release felt better than now, but still worse than a couple years ago.
It’s not just you. iOS auto correct has gotten damn near malicious. E seen it insert entire words out of nowhere
Spellcheck is an absolutely perfect example of what happens with technology long-term. Once the hype cycle is over for a certain tech, it gets left to languish, slowly degrading until it's completely useless. We should be far more outraged at how poor basic things like this still are in 2025. They are embarrassingly bad.

What do you mean? Code shouldn't degrade if it's not changed. But the iOS spell checker is actively getting worse, meaning someone is updating it.
Real code has dependencies and they sometimes change, including growing undocumented behavior or new bugs.
Yeah it finishes my sentences and goes back and replaces entire words with other words that are not even in the same category of noun, then replaces pronouns and conjunctions to completely make up a new sentence for me in something I've already typed. I'm not stupid and I meant what I typed. If I didn't mean what I typed I would have typed something else. Which I didn't.
