On this week's episode of The AI Fix, guest host Greg Iddon joins me to explain how research from Irregular makes it clear, you should never, ever 'vibe' your password.

And if you ask it again, there's a good chance it will give something that looks like this: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w Ask again and you might get: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w And again: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w See the problem?

Now, being a human that's terrible at creating passwords you might be tempted to ask your LLM to do it, especially if you're already asking it to do lots of other things. And if you do, it will give you something like this. Something that looks like a strong, random password: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w

The AI Fix @theaifix.show · 26/02/2026
⚠️ Never use an LLM to generate a password. ⚠️ A password is only safe if it’s hard to guess. That means no predictable patterns, no 123456, no p@ssword!, no dictionary words, no pet names, no favourite sports teams. It needs to be random. Something like: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w

To find out more, listen to episode 88 of The AI Fix, where you'll also discover that "subspace orthogonalization" isn't a Star Trek plot device, and that my co-host Corey Noles from The Neuron has definitely never tried to make a nuclear weapon on a quiet weekend.

When it comes to AI you can have safe or honest, not both. Research suggests that the neurons stopping hallucinations are the same neurons stopping the AI from telling you how to make ricin. Want more honesty? It's easier to jailbreak. Want better guardrails? Sorry, it's a big fat liar now.

In episode 87 of The AI Fix, @ai-fix-mark.bsky.social and guest host Nik Roberts take yet another gulp from AI's infinite well of creepy things, and discover a robot that learned to lip sync in the mirror. Sadly, we can't confirm whether it did so while singing into a hairbrush.

Looks like it works if you use /aifix rather than /AIFIX. We have prodded the people in charge of choosing whether to use upper or lowercase in URLs. Our preference, because we are not maniacs, is lowercase of course.
