Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)
I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?
On Android, most apps depend on the keyboard.
Only exception I’ve seen, is Copilot, which shows the suggested word directly, to be selected with [tab], but you can still type a different one.
I’ve noticed no such behavior on Facebook. Have you checked your keyboard settings?
