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.
While “routing” of prompts between specialist models and traditional APIs does offer more efficient and reliable outputs, it also A. requires more elbow grease than one massive generalist model, and B. doesn’t help you avoid paying API licensing fees by obfuscating their outputs into the blackbox weights of your proprietary model
It just seems like a password manager is an infinitely better tool. Like to the point i severely judge and question the sense of someone who seeks to reinvent the wheel for something so crucial
Oh for sure. I was just answering in case you wanted to know.
Future versions of AI tools will likely use routing to do a variety of tasks more efficiently and accurately. But until then? It’s a jinn to those who would wish away every single chore they lack the patience to comprehend including, unfortunately, information security.
Its honestly crazy to me. I have it down to such an art that Incouldnt imagine giving up my unilateral control or sole custody of that data
