It’s become more powerful, which means it can correct things in ways it previously couldn’t, but it can also screw things up in new ways. For example, autocorrect used to be limited to words with the same number of chars, and with letters in the same order. Now it can autocorrect to a word with more or fewer chars, and with some transpositions. It’s good this is now possible, since people do make mistakes like this. But it opens the door for new types of errors. One issue I find to be annoying is that it gives too much weight to the first char in a word when making its guess. I’ve learned that if it gets the first char wrong I should probably go back and correct it, unless it’s a very long word that will become apparent over time.
