Medium Platform Algos are Screwing up What We Write.

Whistle blow

This is a public note to lament that Medium (or maybe android) algos incorrectly interpreting what we mean to say are making changes to our writing, as we write, with the effect of changing what we are saying, to what they are saying.

You might not have noticed this yet, but I certainly have. I see it changing words often now, completely changing the meaning of what I am saying, and actually, hijacking the dialog.

This is gaslighting at best but at worst, impersonation.

When I write “Write”, this is what I mean, for example.

When the algos change that to “Wrote”, then Wtf?

Is there something the platform knows that I don’t know?!?
