encryption

It requires Deep Learning.

Deep Learning could be used to attempt breaking encryption, but the effectiveness depends on various factors such as the strength of the encryption algorithm and key length. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, involves training artificial neural networks to learn and make decisions.

AI algorithms, such as machine learning and deep learning, have the potential to automate cryptanalysis and make it more effective, thereby compromising the security of cryptographic systems.

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.
