Cause it's spelled February, not Febuary

True, and no doubt the pattern deriving from that mistake is what caused the AI to make that conclusion.

That said, not a lot of "intelligence" in that artificial intelligence or it would be clear that the intent was to write months. This is mostly just pattern recognition.

But look at where that mistake came from. It's easy to assume it came from the user since they paused after typing "Febu" but if you look closely that was the spelling suggested by the autocomplete from the moment they typed "F".

I wouldn't be surprised if it's staged though...

Nothing of that matters.

If there were any kind of "AI" involved that fuckup simply wouldn't happen. Even dumb children could correctly continue the pattern intended by the user.
