gollark: People don't ask about lots of things, and yet.
gollark: £250? As I said before, this seems high.
gollark: Yes, iff I am the maximum rank, above all others, and cannot be removed from it or made not highest in any way.
gollark: It's not a statement about intelligence - as far as I can tell most people have no idea how the fairly interesting technology driving this sort of thing (and basically everything *else* in computing) actually works, don't particularly care, and resist being told about it.↓ below person: this is relevant information which people considering buying it should probably know, so that they can use their money effectively
gollark: No, I mean the predictive text probably will get better at some point because of this sort of thing, and then I suppose you'll just ignore it and assume it magically gets better by magic.
