No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

Around 2010 there was a keyboard app for smartphones called swiftkey that you could give access to your text messages, email, Facebook, a bunch of other social media sites, and even point it as rss feeds (useful for reddit comment history). It would use all of the data you gave it to make your own personalized next word suggestions and spelling corrections that used your own slang and terminology that wouldn't normally be in the predictive text suggestions or spellcheck dictionary.

As far as I know, in th beginning it all was provessed locally. Then they got bought by Microsoft and I stopped using it.

Later they were one of the first keyboard apps with swipe to type.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun to do the "just tap the next suggested word" thing with it, and actually spat out half sensible sentences, but much like your hypithetical. It was fun to see the suggestions it had to follow up curses.

Fucking... microsoft, java, SEGFAULTS, bus is late again, pub players never push the damn cart (TF2), brawl mod is crashing again (I made a customized brawl minus pack that was jank city).

I'm sad that there hasn't been any open source ones since that can do all that processing on your own device.
