As "smart interfaces" become more common, regression to the mean will be a serious problem.

For example, Google's swipe keyboard has trouble with rare words. I use a lot of technical terms. It seems like the swipe gesture model has no problem understanding what I mean, but then the language model kicks in and says, "'evolutionary'? Pfft, no way. They obviously meant 'employment'."

It's annoying having to fight with autocorrect, but I'm more concerned about the large scale effects. Will AI subtly nudge all of our communication and art to the average, making our culture more homogenous and bland?
