I dont need a 5 minute podcast to explain the fact that LLMs are literally selecting the statistically most common answers, because thats literally what an LLM is
Thats like being surprised that the top 5 correct answers on family feud were the most commonly picked answers from the poll.
Dawg... thats literally how it works lol.

1234!
Train your chatbot on TV Tropes, and the password will always be swordfish.
What dipshit says, "ChatGPT, give me a strong password."
The kind of person who cannot tell the difference between blindly guessing words and conscious thought.
potentially a common one, but we'll only know after password leak from somewhere
I thought we all agreed that 4 was the random number.
Yes. Determined by fair dice roll.
I just tried on copilot and it gave me 7.
I was fucking around the other day trying to get sha256 hashes.
Anyone using AI in this way has fundamental misunderstandings about both how the technology works, and its optimal use cases.
ffs
Antique
surely a newer statistics machine will correctly generate a statistically unlikely password. These Models Will Get Better. This Will Get Fixed.
just 100 more billion bro please bro just 100 more billion bro, we'll solve statistics bro you'll see bro just 100 more billion bro
(and then in a year it'll be 500b...)
no shi, absolutely nobody is using LLMs to generate passwords
You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.
Your mum is an antique.
