That's a weird comparison because it's a mechanical and deterministic task. Bad autocomplete is just a bad algorithm. As far as I know, (word) artists are usually following the grammatical (or orthographic) rules of their target language by default, and if they want to do something else they would disable that. But it's not really a question of style if you misspell certain words. Your example would be like letting a Thesaurus suggest different words in every sentence. | ||||||||

> But it's not really a question of style if you misspell certain words. Sure it is. Flagging vernacular, phonetic spelling for accents, punning, signalling a character's use of a word they are unfamiliar with, and so on and so forth. Intentionally misspelling words can definitely be a stylistic choice. | ||||||||

Maybe a linter is a more accurate allegory. I think there are parts of art that could sometimes be suggested in terms of anatomy, symmetry, shading, color theory, etc. You'd configure your art linter to your preferences/style (or target style) and it would point out the things you're doing wrong and offer suggested fixes. | ||||||||

You could argue red and blue squiggles have been nudging us that way for a few decades. | ||||||||
