“Have you been able to get a good start on your new day yet so far? Thank goodness for letting me see you all the way back around here. I did not have any questions at the first time this week, so hopefully this will help you out for me. Good luck on the next update and I appreciate it letting me have it done.”
I think my phone is bored.
The above paragraph was written using only the predictive text function on my phone, based entirely upon the words I have entered previously, and what words my phone thinks I will use again.
When I use my phone to write something, it is only to write text messages to say I have done something, that I need someone to do something, or to say I will see someone later. I found myself writing my diary on it when 2022 started, but writing that longhand feels more appropriate to me.
“Thank goodness I have just a few of those who work for the next couple of hours before they turn left. Know how much it turned into the last time you got it? Very nice thank you. So I’ll send you the link to your account tomorrow and then I can see what it looks like for the next week of February or November.”
I am being given either “thank”, “I” or “have” as my starting word, no matter how many times I start a sentence – my previous choices do not change them. I also tried typing a word by entering the letter “f”, and it was suggested I enter “g” instead.
“Thank goodness I have just a few of those who work for the next couple of hours before they turn left. Know how much it turned into the last time you got it? Very nice thank you. So I’ll send you the link to your account tomorrow and then I can see what it looks like for the next week of February or November.”
I am not sure I should be impressed: no matter the choice made in the next word to pick, my writing style has either been exposed as banal by machine learning, or rendered so. My choice of words to construct a sentence are constrained only by those I have used, so I either need to read a dictionary to audition new words, or type the text of William S. Burroughs’s novel “Naked Lunch” into my phone – that’ll teach it a lesson.
“Good luck with your help today and I hope you have received an amazing feeling that we will continue to be happy with the time of our own family. Hi there I hope you’re doing good with your work schedule today for you all the afternoon and thank goodness you have had been more productive today than usual, but it will take me too many times for the rest of the week.”
My starting words have now changed to “I”, “Hi” and “Hello”. My phone is either sentient, or I am using it as a ouija board. Good bye.
