    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.

    Train your chatbot on TV Tropes, and the password will always be swordfish.

    I gave my agents a skill that has them cat from /dev/urandom (which is this corralled into text characters) any time they need to generate passwords for something. Even then I have only ever had one need it like twice.

      surely a newer statistics machine will correctly generate a statistically unlikely password. These Models Will Get Better. This Will Get Fixed.
