On: Autocomplete as an Interface (2015)

It looks like the trend is toward autocomplete suggestions for English too. On my phone keyboard, there are autocomplete suggestions to choose from when typing, and GMail now has Smart Compose [1] to do the same thing.

On the phone it makes sense because input is very constrained. On a keyboard/doc in a language you are fluent in, it is a distraction.
