How the fuck did we make autocomplete so fucking spicy, it's driving people crazy and driving some to suicide?

We used internet comments as one of the ingredients.
Sugar, spice, and everything nice
These were the ingredients chosen
To create the perfect LLM
But Professor Altman accidentally
Added an extra ingredient to the concoction--
4chaners shitposting
The real annoyance is how shit actual autocomplete/autocorrect has become over the past 5 years or so.
I have to turn if off because I wouldnrather have typos that people can figure out than it start stixking entirely differrnt fucking words in my texts.
Also they did something jankey with keyboards because I CONSTANTLY get "n" instead of "space" and it started happening around the same time.
he is too big number calculator refuses to calculate the only character that can just try building with all of them aee
we should have remained at this quality of autocomplete
oh no
Grok is the 4chan of LLMs.
If it starts organically/spontaneously generating SCP-esque content, that would be… interesting
Im just saying, thats a pretty good basis for a curse.
better than jumping off a roof, at least
When did computer science turn into pop psaichology? Calling this research is blasphemy to the scientific discipline.
The word "research" has lost all meaning.
