ChatGPT Threat Alert 🚨

ChatGPT is largely a sane, empathetic and balanced chatbot shy of replying to racist and harmful questions because that’s how it was raised. On the contrary, ChatGPT and other large language model-based platforms can easily be manipulated. With prompt injections, these can turn insane, cruel and unbelievably biased.

In the case of ChatGPT, a prompt injection attack made the chatbot assume the persona of another chatbot named DAN (Do Anything Now) which ignored OpenAI’s content policy and provided information on all sorts of restricted topics. This vulnerability can be exploited for malicious intent, including the theft of personal information.
