Understanding why automated corrections don’t always work

AI can’t actually understand anything. Without understanding, it doesn’t have the capability to compensate for an unforeseen circumstance. In this case, the unforeseen circumstance relates to an unscripted event, one in which the AI can’t accumulate additional data or rely on other mechanical means to solve. A human can solve the problem because a human understands the basis of the problem and usually enough of the surrounding events to define a pattern that can help form a solution. In addition, human innovation and creativity provide solutions where none are obvious by other means. Given that an AI currently lacks both innovation and creativity, the AI is at a disadvantage in solving specific problem fields.

To put this issue into perspective, consider the case of a spelling checker. A human types a perfectly legitimate word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary used by the AI for making corrections. The AI often substitutes a word that looks close to the specified word but is still incorrect.

Even after the human checks the document, retypes the correct word, and then adds it to the dictionary, the AI is still apt to make a mistake. For example, the AI could treat the abbreviation CPU differently from cpu because the former appears in uppercase and the latter in lowercase. A human would see that the two abbreviations are the same and that, in the second case, the abbreviation is correct but may need to appear in uppercase instead.
