Yes? That's exactly what it's for: finding patterns that are too hard or too complex for humans to find. Enumerating every edge case of "enter a password" is not possible for a human, and whatever edge cases we humans miss _will_ be exploited by someone to compromise someone else. It's also a matter of volume. How many pages can you evaluate and categorize in an hour versus how many can a ML system do in the same? I once saw a demo where a firewall/virus scanner app could detect malware heuristics dynamically by comparing to a baseline system, and could do so in 10 seconds or less per item. It would take a human more than 10 seconds just to read the report to generate a rule, and humans don't scale nearly well enough. There are lots of complaints to be had about ML and privacy / fairness / ethics / effectiveness, but this shouldn't be one of them.
