Come on, at least make it a little bit believable by not having this be the first text exchange between them. Completely immersion breaking.

    Maybe they scrolled the older messages up for privacy.

    It’s tricky, but you can get the gap by scrolling and holding and then doing the screenshot before you let go and it bounces back down.

    You can see in these shots I just made because of the horrible iOS transparency.

    edit: not saying it’s not fake, but it could just be this

    Goddammit, is "sanity check" an AI phrase now? Are we going to have to constantly reinvent language just to stay ahead of AI ingesting it and regurgitating it? It already killed the emdash.

    Yesterday my phone autocorrected an hyphen into an emdash, and I had to go undo it like 3 separate times before it stopped

    It also regularly auto corrects words I meant to type that are spelled correctly because it determines it likes a different word more in a different context (the word it switches to usually doesn’t even work in the context of my text)

    Why in the fuck would it do that, and why can’t I turn it off?!

    I’m good with spellcheck, but automatically changing my word choices is fucked up, annoying, and super dumb

    I've fully turned autocorrect off on my phone. Never turned it on on my desktop. It'll underline words it thinks are wrong, but if there are going to be any spelling errors in my texts, they're gonna be 100% organic, dammit. Texting is definitely slower this way, but a lot less frustrating.

    I do the same and I gotta say it is a ton better.

    But

    Most of those typos aren’t even remotely organic. There is absolutely no reason I should hit the wrong key six times in a row when I try to re-write the word correctly, excruciatingly slowly to get it right, yet every other letter is identically correct between iterations.

    Phone keyboards are just pure trash, is all. We’ve had decades to get them right and just haven't bothered.

    Management got AI to rewrite all our documentation and it put em dashes everywhere, including in active directory group policy names which broke them. I wonder if I can get it to fix its own mistake.

    What is this what am I looking at? You have provided zero context or information.

    She asked him a question and he answered it like an AI.

    That’s about it.

    I am just confused by the AI text being on the sender side. Presumably this is a screenshot sent to you from this person?

    What?

    The screenshot was shared by the person sending the texts and is titles “texting my girlfriend like Opus 5.5”.

    What’s confusing? The original OP of the texts got a text from his girlfriend, responded like an AI would be, then shared the screenshot to be funny.

    Okay, but why'd they change to android for the last text?
