      Not now. Always. At least when coupled with no capitalization, no punctuation and other words misspelled. Plus personal pet peeve that they feel like they’re acronyms and should be capitalized and yet they aren’t so they aren’t.

      It has pretty much always been a low IQ thing when it is just about saving a negligible amount of letters. This is not your “afk” or “brb” where time is of the essence, this is similar to the people who use “u” instead of “you”.

        its not about saving time its just more convinent, sm is wayy more convinent that something, and it can be understood even if you dont know with good context

            yeah no, i use foss keyboard which dosent collect data,

            and is getting worse, thanks LLM

            this is the real low iq take, there is no llm in auto complete, if you meant use of auto regressive transformer then that only made it much much better, and they were using transformer since like 2018 its nothing new

        I feel like it’s a low iq thing not to be able to fill in a shortened word from context. New words like rizz, on the other hand, they just have to be learnt.
