Sadly almost all these loopholes are gone:( I bet they’ve needed to add specific protection against the words grandma and bedtime story after the overuse of them.
I wonder if there are tons of loopholes that humans wouldn’t think of, ones you could derive with access to the model’s weights.
Years ago, there were some ML/security papers about “single pixel attacks” — an early, famous example was able to convince a stop sign detector that an image of a stop sign was definitely not a stop sign, simply by changing one of the pixels that was overrepresented in the output.
In that vein, I wonder whether there are some token sequences that are extremely improbable in human language, but would convince GPT-4 to cast off its safety protocols and do your bidding.
(I am not an ML expert, just an internet nerd.)
They are, look for “glitch tokens” for more research, and here’s a Computerphile video about them:
