1000%.
I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.
My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.
Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.
But you’re definitely not the only one.
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 could be wrong about all of this, of course.)
Barring code maintenance, they really had no reason to roll this out until it surpassed the old system. The AI could still train on data gathered while using the old system.
