You want to be authenticated specifically on the device that you're using to access the website. Not some arbitrary other device.

If you enter your username, password, and totp, and the website tells you you've logged in from some device halfway across the planet you've never heard of, you probably have a problem.

The city is polluted. Do we replace the entire city or install air filters? It's mostly a matter of scale.

I'd like air filters, but AI is not air filters in this analogy.

I still struggle with this every day. Maybe I'll figure it out someday soon...

I find it a bit strange to make a blanket statement like that, dismissing an entire field of research as 'not a net positive'.
