GPT-2 saw "today," and thought "this must be news copy" and generated more news copy. Given a few more words, it could have narrowed down the context. The Apple suggestions aren't even grammatically correct, seemingly no different from the shallow statistical completion we've already had for years, so it's weird that they branded it in lofty AI terms

Autocorrect doesn't suggest whole sentences so it is irrelevant if the remaining sentence is gibberish or not.

Or it could be the contrary. The new feature doesn't suggest whole sentences because the model they are using produces gibberish. It is quite possible that if the model was better then the would allow it to suggest longer phrases.

Maybe it should though, given we have the power to do so (at least, with just a lil more power)

I suspect someone (Craig even) was under some pressure from The Board to have >0 references to generative-AI in their presentation this year since every single company (even non-software) is now expected by Wall St to "be doing some AI". Even though Apple is at the top of the heap with ML in photography and many other domains, without some kind of LLM the tech news narrative will be "Apple is years behind".
