    Let me guess. Some guy fed it into AI.

      It’s not just AI, but there is a bunch of AI:

      To attack the problem, Baber used artifical intelligence and generated a list of 71 million possible 13-letter names. Using known details of the Zodiac killer, based on witness descriptions, he cross-checked those names against military, marriage, census and other public records.

      At the time, the Compton bungalow complex was called the Zodiac Motel, a fact Baber discovered by using AI to unearth a newspaper ad. He thinks it inspired the name the Bay Area killer called himself.

        So now making a special-purpose rainbow table is AI now, too? Or was he too ignorant to know how to do that without resorting to AI?

        AI like Google?

      That’s the perfect case for it imo. Ingestion is best done by something efficient, like a scheduler. Use the tool properly and there’s nothing wrong with it. Build it ethically and legally and it’s a boon for mankind. Don’t blame “AI” for the abomination capitalists have created.
