Somebody used the term "Grand Theft Autocorrect" the other day.

@glc @cstrossCharlie Stross @CatvalenteCatherynne M. Valente @drahardjaDave Rahardja I like it, the only improvement I‘d suggest is to make it „Grand Theft Autocomplete“

Because it‘s not actually *correcting* anything (and just accidentally correct if at all). And people are likely more used to the idea that autocomplete might give you an incorrect completion and usually just suggests the most popular one which may be completely wrong for your vase. That seems like a good mental model.
