With modern technology and autocorrect and all, does anyone actually remember the proper rules of the use of the apostrophe in the words its versus it's?

Honestly I’ve done mostly forgot, and with the proliferation of AI technologies and all the typos AI has read from in the training models, I bet AI isn’t always right about this either.

I usually just don’t care anymore, whether the autocorrect puts the apostrophe in or not.
