Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
AI will eventually make encryption and passwords useless.
The finding
What remains unresolved
This is an unspecified future prediction. Finding vulnerabilities in PHP does not demonstrate that all cryptography has failed. NIST distinguishes threats to particular algorithms from encryption designed to resist them. No evidence inspected here establishes the predicted universal outcome, and uncertainty about the future is not a reason to label it already false.

Quick answer
Is it true that AI will eventually make encryption and passwords useless?
We can't say yet. This is an unspecified future prediction. Finding vulnerabilities in PHP does not demonstrate that all cryptography has failed. Joe Rogan said it (matched by voice) on Joe Rogan Experience #2570 - Mystery Boys, aired Oct 23, 2026, at 1:19. We couldn't settle it from the evidence we captured, so it stays an open question, not a false claim. The supporting source is nist.gov, linked below.
