Lol. Especially the AI version of keyboard auto suggest.

Let's take a deterministic algorithm that predictably corrects your typos and build it on AI. It will offer you no benefits, but it will completely destroy the utility since it will never work predictably or accurately.

Auto correct and auto suggest are related but different things.

Suggest puts up options for the next word.

My comment would remain exactly the same for auto-correct. They are essentially the same thing, just pre and post typing.

They both serve the same purpose of helping the user quickly and accurately communicate on a cell phone. Like auto-suggest, I rely on auto-correct to fix things that I know I commonly mistype. When it doesn't work predictably, it's useless.
