So my cellphone of course has predictive input, as cellphones do, where it guesses three words that you might be planning to type, and displays them so you can choose one if you want (or just keep typing otherwise).
And one fun thing is that even if you haven’t typed anything yet, it will still predict what you might be going to type, because why not. And once you choose a word it will suggest the three words that you might want next, and so on.
So you can drive the predictive model forwards without input, by just (for instance) picking the first suggested word repeatedly, until say you get into a loop. And at the moment if you do that with my phone, you get this:
If the user to be in touch and I am going on the way I am going on the way I am going.
and then it loops I am going on the way I am going on the way I am going.
And if you choose the second, middle, one over and over you get:
I am not sure if you have any questions or concerns please please please please please.
in which it is notable that the second suggestion after “please” is “please”. :)
Repeatedly choosing the third one gives this:
The first week and then the following file and then the following file.
and then the following file and then the following file.
Choosing the first then second then third, then first then second then third:
If you want me to be in the future of the day and I have to be able and willing I would like the one that you have any further information please do you have a good time and I will send the money and the rest and relaxation and then delete it immediately by return mail to you by the way you could send you the best time for the first one is in a few minutes ago and he said he will have to do you have a good time and I will send the money and the rest.
A still more complex pattern, one-one-two I think it was, produced this still more substantial chunk of text:
If the reader is not the named recipient only for use by others or forwarding of any action taken in reliance upon the contents to anyone else who might be a great day of school and the other day I can do to get a new email address is the best of my life is a good day for me know what you are hereby notified with the site and the rest is fine with the following link if I can get the chance of the individual sender and destroy all electronic mail message by mistake please immediately by return to me know what I can get the chance of the individual sender.
You are hereby notified!
I don’t know if any of the prediction there is learned from my own writing, although it doesn’t seem likely. I don’t write about named recipients much, or in fact at all. So most likely it has been trained on some standard body of text (including some legalese!) and either it doesn’t change that with experience, or my own writing patterns (I don’t write all that much on the phone after all) haven’t provided it with enough information to change the model substantially.
The rest is fine!
