If so-called AI is basically just Large Language Models, how come predictive text on my phone is bollock-useless?

Like if I type "I have two appl.." for example, often it will suggest "apple" singular instead of plural. Just a small example, but it is really bad at predicting which variant of a word should come after the previous

AI is a vast field. LLMs and neural networks are a small part of it.
LLMs are very expensive to run and a lot more complex than the markov chains often used for predictive text.
Predictive text just chooses a likely word based on what's typed. This may be as simple as looking for words that start with what you've typed.
LLMs vectorise words and understand the complex relationship between vectors using many data points. So it would spot the word "two" and realise that plurals are used with it.
Predictive text also can vectorize words, but the number of vectors per word are much, much simpler.
