>We are in face of “learning software” (said 22111)

Interesting point. The reason why I stopped using PhraseExpress is its - can we say? - AI approach. Several times, the software tried to guess what I wanted - while it should simply have done what it was supposed (and told) to do. What really put me off was that PE sometimes misinterpreted my actions. When I undid an autocorrection for the second or third time (sometimes the autocorrection was not what I wanted), the software thought I wanted to completely disable the shortcut/autocorrection pair - and disabled it without asking. And there was no option to turn that behaviour off.

Off course, one could say that was not the fault of the AI but the programmer’s.

But for now, I’d say: I prefer to do the thinking and have the software do the robot work.
