> This gets back to the idea of preventing frustration. I determined that it would be more frustrating to have autocorrection “guess wrong” and erroneously fix broken typing.

I work on automation a lot, and this is so hard to communicate to the endless stream of non-tech types that just want to “tweak” the algorithms to be a little bit smarter. Trust is an asymmetric proposition, requires lots of positive inputs to slowly accrete it; it takes very few negative inputs to rapidly dissolve it. It is better to be reliably/predictably helpful some of the time, than it is to usually be helpful but sometimes dishelpful all of the time.

Or as Thumper put it (kinda): “If you don’t have nuthin nice to add, don’t add anything at all.”
