Yeah, I wouldn't surprised to be wrong with how frustrated I was with words in config files changing + commands in the terminal having words updated just as I hit enter to run them. I updated yesterday, haven't had this issue before, and it stopped happening when I turned off those settings. I'd turned similarly named settings off on the iPhone years ago but never noticed them on the mac. With the names of the settings and the very similar fail mode to when genAI is added to IDE (things like updates being accepted when you hit the right arrow), I did assume a bit.
It still seems odd for me. I can't remember the mac ever taking what I wrote and changing it without some input from me.
Either way, my issue seems to have stopped so I'm pretty happy turning the settings off.
