Uh, you're just making this up. You have no idea whether the "microphone" (by the way, for those who are not fact-averse, it's dual beam-forming mics) in the new wireless earbuds is "laughable".

They aren't even released yet. You've never tried them. You have no idea whatsoever.

By the way, it's actually very easy to teach Apple's devices the word "fucking". You haven't figured it out yet, but that doesn't make it Apple's fault. Did you try Googling it yet or spending five seconds figuring it out yet? I can assure you, I'm quite able to use any profanity I want on Apple's devices; they learned about my inclination towards profanity years ago and have flawlessly handled it since.

Or they can predict, but don't because it's a swear word and it's a product decision.

Apple's historical secrecy does hurt them here. However, they have taken the stance to not slurp everything up and pack it off to the mothership like Google, which I understand has led to some interesting work on resource constrained models (since it has to run on your device) and data anonymization.

Is OpenAI planning to be a part of this?

Sounds like it: https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/781243032582578177

Actually that sounds like some shade tossed on this endevour. i.e. They were either not asked, or had to pony up money that only a multibillion dollar megacorp could part with.

All you have to do is type "fucking" ONCE, then tap the word "fucking" in quotes, on the left-hand side of the suggestions/corrections bar, and the word is learned as an acceptable dictionary word. Permanently. Forever. And that persists when you change devices.

Anyone feigning ignorance of this feature at this point just isn't trying very hard.

Agreed. I stopped clicking on TC links long ago.

That explains how "fuckery" ended up in my dictionary
