Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? (lemmy.world)

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

I have a major issue with Gboard where it'll have a word suggested, I'll see it, type the next letter in the word, then tap the suggestion. BUT it'll have moved the suggestion from the middle to the side in favor of putting some random word in the middle and I'll tap the wrong word because of that.

It's so frustrating for it to move around like that.
