It's not just the keyboard. It's also siri.. I tell siri to call XXXXXXX. I see on my screen it actually understood me, and then it changed the name into someone else who I never ever call.

Alls this "ai" stuff drives me crazy. It's just plain unpredictable. I prefer predictability in my daily drivers, and I'll go for "ai" when I need it.

Siri was great when it first came out. At some point it went machine AI and sometimes it works well but most of the time it is absolutely annoyingly batshit insane.

My current fun one is “turn off bathroom lights” will cause it to ask downstairs or upstairs and loop forever no matter what you say at that point. Then I have to get up and press a light switch like a Neanderthal!
