Warning: Your AI-Generated Password Is a Major Security Risk. Here’s What to Use Instead (www.rd.com)

At a glance, the passwords the LLMs created looked secure, much like those that a password generator might spit out. But that’s exactly where the problems arose: Although the AI-generated passwords appeared to be complex and safe to use for securing online accounts, they were actually quite predictable upon closer inspection.

All three LLMs exhibited clearly identifiable patterns in how they created these passwords. These patterns included repeated character strings, predictable password structure, frequent reuse of similar characters, clear biases toward certain numbers and letters, and even duplicate passwords in some cases. Although the AI-generated passwords looked random, they really weren’t. This could easily create a false sense of security if you were to use these predictable passwords for your online accounts.

AI is like going into the kitchen and telling the chef how to cook. A time waster, fear monger tactic by scared middle mangers afraid they will get replaced if they don't adopt and push it. When dumb dumb yankkkee land is done fucking around they are still gonna need people, they just want to pay you low wages. You are now the bottom bitch. gotta keep these workers in their place by running off of fumes. Reinvent the wheel as a square and beat me silly with it.

AI is perpetual motion machine on the planet WASP-127b .....which is no vacum. You worry about the memes as the crapitalist crush your dreams. A debt you will never pay with a shrinking economy. AI did not take your job... your job doesn't exist... the epstien class takes a weee in your cornflakes thats why they taste like piss. A magic trick... your fear of accepting slop... It was already slop and your job was already dumb. Circling the drain as the rich play their games. Self reinforcing Exponential feed back loops on a road to no where, on tracks coming to an end. AI is a sloppy dumby drag net that paints with broad strokes... lower the bar cut the coke, the people at the top are stupid jokes. You are bound by thin treads of silk...
