When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

Gboard used to be flawless for swipe typing, but in the last year or so I've noticed the autocorrect become far less reliable and actually prone to replacing the word I wanted with something else. They must have made some change within the last couple of years.

iOS has the same problem, autocorrect is so bad now

I've noticed a similar decrease in quality. I have no evidence but I'm guessing they threw gen ai in gboard. Do yourself and the planet a favor, try using a non gen ai keyboard. I'm using futoboard and it's pretty decent

I've experienced similar. I also feel like at the same time the voice to text accuracy has gone down as well.
