Interesting research: “(Ab)using Images and Sounds for Indirect Instruction Injection in Multi-Modal LLMs“: Abstract: We demonstrate how images and sounds can be used for indirect prompt and instruction injection in multi-modal LLMs. An attacker generates an adversarial perturbation corresponding to the prompt and blends it into an image or audio recording. When the user asks … Read More “Indirect Instruction Injection in Multi-Modal LLMs” »
Gandalf is an interactive LLM game where the goal is to get the chatbot to reveal its password. There are eight levels of difficulty, as the chatbot gets increasingly restrictive instructions as to how it will answer. It’s a great teaching tool. I am stuck on Level 7.
