        Me too. Who would think you would use something, noone would use. Deception is key!

      even the AI would have suggested a better one. (don’t use passwords AI generated tho, because someone may be able to narrow down or recreate tge output one day.)

        i mean it is literally a machine built to produce statistically likely text.

          Theoretically that could mean it also knows what is statistically unlikely, but it will only tell you what is statistically the most likely statistically unlikely answer.
