AI trying to figure out user intention and incorrectly so due to their heuristics or inherent missing context in merges, is why autocorrect has become almost more trouble than it's worth these days. Texts on phones are impossible to start with "well" or "we'll" as it will replace with the other before the second word. Algorithms need to stop saying that what they find more likely must be true; "more" likely is less useful when there's a 51/49% chance or a 4/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3...3% chance. Sometimes the AI will be right; sometimes it will be wrong. I'm far more upset when its wrong than the few times it's right. The same problems with offline editing will raise their head as AI forces its way into our lives attempting to make decisions based on not nearly enough info.
Basic symbol or character-by-character manipulation cannot reveal why the changes occurred, just what happened.
