Why does everything have to be LLM, like why cant things sometimes just be algorithmically generated like my AI-free password manager does?

I wonder if there's AI-powered password managers on the market now lol. If so and if customers, I would mirror Zuck's snide "thuh dumb fucks" setiment when people trusted him

ZXCVBN algorithm has never failed me. I can generate passwords that would take 1 quadrillion guesses/second hackers over 90 million years (testing 1 quad/sec) on the reg

which dumbass lets LLMs generate their passwords?

Why would anyone... Who the fuck is using glorified autocomplete to generate a random unique password?

Anyone that stupid deserves the breach and any company that integrates that moronic idea deserves the blowback.

why. dafuq. would someone use an llm to make a password.

AI generated password

... I'm sorry, what just happened? I think I had a mini aneurysm. Let me read that ag.....

In all seriousness, WTAF is wrong with people? What removed Baphomet wannabe came up with that negative IQ idea? SERIOUSLY... WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. ARGH!

Here I am giving security training to my coworkers and then I have to read this. This is like me spending a life long sifting through all my garbage to make sure everything is nicely separated for recycling, using the bike to go anywhere, to make sure my carbon footprint is as small as possible and over flies Taylor Swift in her private jet undoing my life's work in a single fucking trip.

Seriously this gives me a headache

My brother you can literally slam your face on the keyboard to get a password. Why would you ask an llm' to do it for you?

AI generated password? What kind of brain rot idea is that, god damn. Do these people need to ask AI to breathe for them?

I can also generate a password for them while running 50 toasters and flushing the toilet a bunch if they want.

It takes a five line Python script to generate a secure password. But no, let's waste a gigantic amount of energy to have a slop machine do it very badly.

LLMs are predictive text machines. Focus on "predictive". Of course they will not output random text.

Note: not fully deterministic though - they need (pseudo)randomness at few critical points to be good

"here's what to use instead"

...the same thing we always have been? Keepass or other password managers with randomly generated passwords?

if only there existed a better way to generate passwords

Wait ... Wat? Why would you even...

Just noticing: there's 0 evidence in article that anyone is doing this. I just don't buy that this is happening enough to matter. Interesting as interpretability research at best

How did we manage to move almost completely away from Pseudo-random password generation, only to come straight back to it via LLMs again.

People will really just shove these things into anything like they're a bloody panacea, when really they're just extremely well-trained parrots.

Is there a link to the actual study?
