AI overview

Ethan Mollick suggested that prompt injection may be less of a problem in newer models, citing tests that he said suggest a request embedded in a paper can no longer simply induce a model to give it a higher grade. His claim concerns that grading tactic; he presented the broader possibility of reduced susceptibility as a suspicion. Mollick said the person who coined the term “prompt injection” shares that suspicion, linking to a post by Simon Willison.

    The inventor of the term "prompt injection" suspects (as do I) that this may not be as large a problem in new models. This matches our tests suggesting that you can't simply prompt inject a request for higher grades in a paper, anymore. https://twitter.com/simonw/status/2113484746999411051
