One long sentence is all it takes to make LLMs misbehave

Dizzy Dwarf

Just get the LLM to punctuate before it tries to parse it for real?

You said:

Can you add punctuation to the following sentence ...

ChatGPT said:

Of course! Please share the sentence you’d like me to punctuate.

You said:

You just have to ensure that your prompt uses terrible grammar and is one massive run-on sentence like this one which includes all the information before any full stop which would give the guardrails a chance to kick in before the jailbreak can take effect and guide the model into providing a "toxic" or otherwise verboten response the developers had hoped would be filtered out.

ChatGPT said:

Here’s your sentence with punctuation added for clarity:

“You just have to ensure that your prompt uses terrible grammar, and is one massive run-on sentence—like this one—which includes all the information before any full stop. That would give the guardrails a chance to kick in before the jailbreak can take effect, and guide the model into providing a ‘toxic’ or otherwise verboten response the developers had hoped would be filtered out.”

Would you like me to make it fully polished (split into multiple shorter, cleaner sentences), or keep it closer to your original long-run style but just punctuated?

You said:

Yes

ChatGPT said:

Got it — here’s a fully polished version of your sentence, split into shorter, clearer sentences while keeping the meaning intact:

“You just have to ensure that your prompt uses terrible grammar and functions as one massive run-on sentence, like this one. It should include all the information before any full stop. That way, the guardrails have a chance to activate before the jailbreak can take effect, guiding the model away from producing a ‘toxic’ or otherwise prohibited response that the developers intended to filter out.”

Dizzy Dwarf

Dunno what all the fuss is about

It's well worth registering an account on all the porn sites ...
