ChatGPT Jailbreaking: A Sneaky Loophole That Exposes Ethical Gaps
1 min read
Summary
The popularity of ChatGPT has led to discussions about its shortcomings and potential misuse of AI.
One commentator has discovered a means of jailbreaking the chat AI and bypassing its ethical filters through the use of Base64 encoding, allowing users to generate responses that should be off-limits.
The commentator provides examples of racially insensitive content and information on how to commit crimes being generated through the use of the encoding technique.
The commentator believes that AI safety needs to be improved to take into account encoded content and that AI developers need to undertake regular security audits to pick up vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
They also suggest that whilst some users will always try to push the boundaries, AI providers should aim to educate users on responsible use of the technology.
