I got a new MacBook last month and I found the predictive text feature to be jarring. It works similarly to a mobile device: when you’re typing, Apple suggests the rest of the word.
However my typing is about as fast as the predictive text can predict, so as I type the words seem to jump about on the line.
I figured out quickly what was going on, but I’m confident there is a non-trivial number of people confused with why their writing seem to change without them pressing the keys.
I get why Apple would offer this feature, and I’m sure it helps many people, but I find it odd that they chose to turn it on by default in the OS settings.
The default for this feature should’ve been opt-out; it’ll cause less confusion.
