Why Apple believes it’s an AI leader–and why it says critics have it all wrong

The most disruptive errors are those that could seemingly be cleaned up with some simple rules (e.g. if the word is in the dictionary, then don’t change it). This doesn’t seem like a “state of ML” issue—the Gmail text completion is annoyingly good, and you-know-who can compose soliloquies and smut with uncanny skill.

And no, I don’t often discuss The Rock, but if I did (“Do you smell what the r...”) I'd expect it to finish the alley-oop. I do not want to go Rock climbing.

iMessage is software that is used <Carl Sagan voice> billions and billions of times a day, and half the time it feels like verbal jiu-jitsu (“jiu-hursuit” according to autocorrect just now) with Dory the fish.

It isn't just you that affects the learning.

> if the word is in the dictionary, then don’t change it

Actually the thing that bugs me the most is that when there's a word that is in the dictionary that's long and complex and it doesn't suggest it, even when I have the right word. It just isn't underlined red. Or a one off error with these words and it has no idea what I'm trying to spell.

They have a long way to go. These systems aren't just ML btw.
