Yeah, I think it's been using machine learning for a while. More like since about iOS 10, though.
I find that it helps if you just keep typing a few more words; then it tries to fix those. (Which, of course, can also go quite wrong, and then it's extra-confusing. I wish it highlighted that in yellow or something? "Hey, I just changed these. Does that look right?")

It's more of a speculation, I think. I'm not sure Apple ever confirmed it (maybe they did announce it at some point? I don't think so), but it does seem like they made a significant change years ago where it uses machine learning to do a lot more contextual guesswork.
People seem to have… mixed experienced with it. I know someone who just shut it off altogether, and I can't blame her. Personally(!), it seems to work right… maybe 70% of the time? Often enough that I wouldn't want to turn it off. I don't mean to brush off others' far worse experiences with it, though.
