The regression in autocorrect is also nuts. It seems to aggressively modify grammar to the point of regularly changing the meaning of what I’m writing. It’s like a CS undergrad project where they went too hard on Markov chains.

It’s absolutely horrible- it will go back and modify correct words for whatever forsaken chain it decided it wants. I hate it.

I also have a fairly expansive vocabulary and talk about esoteric technical matters on my phone frequently. As far as I can tell Siri was trained on 8th-grade level text and constantly dumbs down my text and distorts the meaning.

Ugh, so true. I'm both a software developer and an avid reader of literature & philosophy, so my day to day word stream is both extremely varied, and frequently allusive with cryptic phrases and idioms. Not to mention the fact I do actually care about correct punctuation. Autocorrect and voice typing have long since given up on me.

You can help "a little bit" by adding some auto-replacements to the keyboard setup, but it doesn't work very well.

It would be really nice if there was a dictionary you could add technical words to.
