Autocorrect seems to have gotten noticably worse for me in recent years. I regularly find that the entirely correct words which I type out get changed to something completely different because the autocorrect decided that I couldn't possibly mean that word. It regularly helpfully replaces entire words after I hit space and have moved on to the next. By that time, I'm usually focused on the next word, so slip-ups that I almost never make at a dumb keyboard (like its vs. it's, there vs. their, your vs. you're, or were vs. where vs. wear) happen with shocking regularity unless I proofread the entire comment. As a perfect example, I had to proofread and fix multiple instances of such while typing those examples.

I switched mine off a while back and even though I'm now fully responsible for my own terrible spelling and grammar, I'm pretty sure both have actually improved since.
