What about when someone who can barely type (like stephen hawking used to, 3 minutes per sentence using his cheek) uses autocomplete to reduce the unbelievable effort required to type out sentences? That person could pick the auto completed sentence that is closest to what they’re trying to communicate, and such a thing can be a life saver.

You may as well ask for a person that can walk to be able to compete in a marathon using a car.

I’m all for using technology for accessibility. But this kind of whataboutism is pure nonsense.
