I occasionally get uncomfortable with this. I had an eerie experience with SwiftKey on Android a few months ago where I was sending someone my bank account details over SMS (I know, I know) so they could wire me some money, and I typed
"My bank account number is"
And the next suggested word from my keyboard was my actual bank account number. Same thing happened with my sort code. I guess I sent my details to someone a few months before and it just remembered the info.
Other than that slight "oh crap" moment though, the fact it listens to and remembers everything I write comes in super handy. Turns out I use the same few phrases a lot more than I thought I did, and swiping away at my keyboard, and having it predict my next word quickly and accurately saves me SO much time.
