As I write with predictive text 
What’s the word that comes up next?
Will it change my very thought?
Make a sentence I would not?

If you want me to make sense 
Words that follow are intense
I’m not going anywhere 
I’m just trying not to care 

Should I get a new phone or 
Something that’s not quite a bore
Than a random list of words
Basically they are unheard 

Just like you I guess you know 
No one cares where this will go 
It’s a testament to how 
Such a thing exists and now 

I will never understand 
What it means for the world and 
All the people that are born 
Really are the ones forlorn

@florian - 2024-08-31 Captures auto-completion pretty nicely. Words meandering here and there, saying things, but not really aiming anywhere. Reminds me of Tristram Shandy's pointless ramblings. And William Hertling's Avogadro Corp., a sci-fi story in which a general AI develops accidentally from an e-mail text completion software.
