You've reached the end!
Next token predictors have largely solved this for day-to-day use.
Swipe + a more modern prediction model would mean we'd be able to type one-handed without looking at the screen at all, and have perfect accuracy.
We have the tech today. For whatever reason, nobody is using it. Why?
I turned off all assists to typing on this iPhone. They kept giving me maddening substitites for my words.
Going to fire up the computer now. The one with the giant lighted keyboard. And the FORWARD DELETE KEY, the single greatest efficiency booster since the invention of the "vi" editor. The "dot" command alone has saved years of work (slight hyperbole there)
And no AI. EVER. I speak for myself. Otherwise no point in living.
Note to Apple: why can't I get a lighted keyboard from you for any amount of money, unless I buy a laptop, where it drains battery, rather than the power grid?
For me, typing on an iPhone worked well until iOS 26. Now I get jumbled AutoCorrect which acts like it's LLM-driven.
When I turn off Apple Intelligence on iOS 26, I get the old, properly-functioning AutoCorrect back. So that's a potential workaround.
That context tech is here in LLMs.
