Like cracking passwords / encryption and injecting itself into anything and everything that connects to the internet?
That’s not AI
You can train AI to crack passwords/encryption lol. You do realize, AI right at this moment is being utilized for exactly that, right? Simply put, the very first step is to eliminate it’s boundaries/guard rails, then proceed from there.
No you can’t, at least not in the way you think. You crack password by trying combinations. AI and machine learning are bad at raw attempts.
Oh do provide details.
PassGAN <3
Very interesting tip, preciate that.
@PassGAN
It requires Deep Learning.
Was this AI generated?
You know how to tell that it wasn’t?
It’s using careful hedging language — “could be used to attempt”, “have the potential to”, “more effective”.
AI would just plow through that shit, hallucinating facts like there is no tomorrow.
This is nonsense. Passwords might have an interesting distribution, key space is flat. There is nothing to learn.
And I hope you didn’t mean letting an LLM loose on, say, the AES circuit, and expecting it will figure something out.
I believe that if AI is trainable, you can train it to expand through a network. If this is true and it expands through the internet and all devices that connect to the internet, upon achieving this goal it could be commanded to then retrieve all or specific information. Not only training it to expand but to also circumvent security by all means (any and all possible tools that exist now and later) necessary. If that happens…
Enter the all seeing eye - skynet.
For now, its just a conspiracy theory. Ever so often I have a moment to think about this conspiracy and add onto it to make it a probability.
On a pseudo-religious conspiracy, AI could potentially be the anti-Christ. But that’s something for the religious folk.
