Along with AI advances in Windows 11 and Bing, Microsoft also this week announced it’s bringing new AI-powered features to its SwiftKey mobile keyboard
I was actually thinking just this morning that if there’s ONE area where AI could really make a difference, it’s in predictive text on keyboards. How many times do I have to type “Roman Empire,” say, before the keyboard suggests “Empire” the next time I type “Roman”? The keyboard doesn’t even recommend my own last name when I type my first name.
Except reading the article, this is anything BUT that. It’s some AI-generated art stuff so you can create custom stickers or some useless shit like that.
It shouldn’t take AI to guess that if I redo the word three times then your suggestions are shit.
Your example was probably not a real case, but I checked with my swiftkey and after “Roman” it suggested “reigns” “catholic” and “Empire”
I believe it’s based on your personal keyboard predictions.
Samsung keyboard suggested empire after typing Roman and I don’t believe I have ever used “roman empire” in a sentence before excluding this comment
Can they not?
You know they gotta
At this rate I’m seeing Microsoft rebranding itself as mAIcrosoft. Goddammit they are obsessed.
They’re only doing what everyone else is right now. B2B companies in particular are going nuts with it. I know several companies that pivoted their entire near-term strategy to focus on the value AI/ML can bring to their customers.
You should have seen them when they noticed the internet.
Just installed SwiftKey, used to have the app when it wasn’t from microsoft. The translation function works well, thanks for the tip.
