People On Twitter Are Using Predictive Text To Write The Story Of Their Lives, & The Results Are Super Creepy

I was born to be in the same pub with my friends but it was so weird. Um, what? This is my predictive text life story. Want to try it? People on Twitter are using predictive text to write the story of their lives, and the results are equal parts poetry and hilarity. If you're not sure what predictive text is, it's the feature on your phone that suggests the next word when you begin typing a text. And because your phone is sort of smart, but also a robot, it can compile a hilarious story of your life.

To use predictive text, go to your keyboard settings and make sure the predictive text setting is enabled. Next, write your own predictive text life story by starting with "I was born," then select the next word until you come up with your mini memoir. Your phone doesn't actually have a brain — that you know of — but, it is trained to anticipate your next move by learning your text behavior and suggesting words you might use next.

While the responses to Twitter user NBA Kurt Vonnegut's original predictive text challenge are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, they also prove that some people's phones don't know them at all, and others should clearly start a second career as poets. For something that can overhear you talk about peanut butter and then show you a picture of it the next time your scroll through social media, the predictive text feature's storytelling skills are pretty rudimentary — with a few poetic exceptions — which is what makes predictive text life stories so freaking funny.

Don't like your predictive text life story? Write a new one. My second one says: I was born in a new place and I lived there for years, and now I'm going back to the hotel. Apparently hotels and pubs are my jam, but I can always change the narrative.
