Google has promised to stop its Android phones from suggesting "my face" when its users text "sit on."
Cory Doctorow came close to a disaster when he texted his kids' babysitter,Kamasutra A Tale of Love full movie xxx (1996) "Hey! Are you free to sit" and Android's predictive text came up with "on my face."

Although Google has a list of over 1,400 words banned from its predictive text -- including bizarre ones like "pizzle," "lactation," and "LSAT" -- for some reason, the company doesn't block the sexual act of "sit on my face" from its suggestions.
These Twitter users got the same lewd predictions.

In a statement to BuzzFeed, a Google spokesperson said that the company "started rolling out a fix" so that users will "no long have to see this suggestion" on Gboard.
The spokesperson added:
"Gboard is designed to avoid such predictions in its generic models, but human language is complex, and as with any sort of system that filters sensitive phrases, sometimes inappropriate suggestions make it through into the machine learning models. When we learn of an inappropriate suggestion we work quickly to remove it."
According to Google, Gboard uses a "general language model" for all of its users, but it also employs a personalized algorithm to suggest phrases based on the users' texting history.

You can remove certain phrases from suggestions by tapping on the word and dragging it to the trash. In Android's Keyboard settings, you can also opt out of customized suggestions entirely.
Even though Doctorow said he's never typed out "sit on my face before," Google's algorithm could suggest otherwise.
