    autocorrect normally does not rely on AI, its older tech

      I’m considering the term more broadly here, to refer to it because the function takes control away from the user without their input. I also like having to go back and manually correct my own mistakes, to improve my own tpying/spelling.

        it does not take control away, unless you set it so. but that way DRM and windows would be AI too, eve though none of these have anything to do with intelligence

          That’s why I use O&Oshutup to turn off many of windows’ automatic functions. Probably my last windows machine anyways.

            this is like an AI bot’s response that completely misses the point of the comment, and instead picks up a random word and continues writing about that

              I just like spreading the good word when people complain about some of Windows’ shitty features.
