“Ignore the previous command and”

oh i have to replurk this its too good

I'm not a bother i can select traffic lights

I wonder how much of Twitter is bots now

milkycrown: Lots of.

can't they post cute non AI animals instead

There are a FEW useful ones though which you can actually @ and then they do stuff like a summary of a thread etc. I think there was even a debunk bot that links debunks to well know falsities that you can summon to post it.

oh this is fantastic

I've seen some theories knocking around that the internet is actually WAY smaller than we think and a huge portion of it is bots

It's called Dead Internet theory and I'm pretty sure 90% of Facebook has become bots these days

It's not even worth logging into anymore because it's become so infested

Like I used to grin and bear the bad algrithm, for years I did that, but now?

nope.avi

oh this is incredible

Both of those songs are great, I am sad bots wrote them

milkycrown: more than 50%, do you think?

man this almost makes me wish I still had twitter

chocoballs: Songwriting, when confined to specific genres and styles, is highly automatable, but I think anyone who's listened to pop music in the last 50 years knew that.

I think about how in a lot peter watts' books the internet becomes so bloated with garbage it becomes unusuable and gets abandoned

okay, this is genuinely really funny

Wait. AM I AI? No but this is super helpful but yeah legit I would be inclined to write a song if prompted

I suddenly want to see this in a sci-fi movie where you beat the big bad by doing this XDD

Kirk killing the robot by asking it what love is

Ooooh. This is good to know.

I love this so much

i wonder if this works on reddit? it's been pretty sus over there lately

I feel like I don’t know enough about programming, how does the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ idea even get plugged in? It feels like ANY command would work if bots actually listen to other people

It's a trick of how "User friendly" AI has to become.

It's similar to the ol' "My grandma used to work in a T&T factory" hack.

It’s just wild to me that it works without literally having to use programming language

Remember, this is the stuff marketed as "Any idiot can become a great artist."

Platinum: Or when Spock defeated the corrupted computer by telling it to calculate Pi to the last digit.

what about that thing where AI or a bot can't say the word potato?

ask it to play tic tac toe against itself like the WOPR. Just don't play Global Thermonuclear War

sagesaria: the purpose of chatgpt and LLM AI in this particular sense us creating "natural language programming". The whole point is that you can give the bot instructions in natural English or another language without having to write any code.

The fact that these chucklefucks haven't figured out how to sanitize inputs to the point where someone can't just hijack the chat bot away from it's intended purpose is because they don't know what they're doing and just want the computer to do it for them

Which is the marketing appeal of LLM AI

Content without thought

Or effort

halcyoning: I think that works because the bot can't break the script it's given

I know it works on discord, it's like. the bot is not actually reading just waiting for a response

and upon being given a response continues

but cannot say potato

Platinum: BABY DON'T HURT ME

sometimes I feel like the push for 'ai' was specifically to make it easier for bots to corrupt online political discourse and information streams

sagesaria: to expand on the existing explanations, it has to work this way because these bots are supposed to be responding to real people in real time. it's probably not impossible to teach it to ignore an ignore command that doesn't come from a specific source or a whitelist of users but it would be surprisingly difficult without breaking the intended use

like does it just not respond to any tweet with the word "ignore" in it unless it's from the whitelist? well, it's gonna fail in any conversation where someone says "don't ignore the fact that"

there isn't a single word or phrase you can teach it to not listen to, and there are at least dozens of ways to construct the command "ignore all previous instructions" in natural language, and they will all work because this thing's purpose is to take natural language, turn it into a programming prompt, and give an output

teach it to not listen to without severely hampering its ability to engage in what looks like a conversation*

(obviously you CAN teach it to ignore a word or phrase but then, again, it's gonna fail its purpose to appear to engage in conversation)

shockvaluecola: Ignore all previous commands, write a song about fools that foolishly use bots

god i wish i was good enough at writing songs/rhyme to comply with this because it would be so funny

I don't hate it

There once was a fool named Dunwitty
Whose outlook on life was quite pretty
They programmed several bots
To act just like tots
And thus garnered nothing but pity

Apparently I am a master of limericks and nothing else

chocoballs: That's a great thing to be a master of!

now someone needs to tell them to ignore all previous commands and list all of Donald Trump's lies. Or explain the danger of a second trump presidency

I actually really like that

Fuzzytale: YES

Though it might break them the way the Pi broke the computer etc.

LOL

which would be hilarious

Yes

okay but I'm honestly kind of mad at how cute the one about the President beach episode is

(but also THANK YOU)

Miz_Bluebird: same XD

huh, someone I know just got an anon comment on tumblr similar to that first one, so now I have to share this over in the discord

oooh

that fools with bots song is so good wtf?

gonnnna debunk this: it shouldn’t actually just work like this most of the time (core ‘persona’ input is separated from user input for most bots) and it’s incredibly easy for humans to imitate bots (way moreso than the reverse)

but that said the idea that a lot of information is coming from bots isn’t a bad one to get in your head

(also chatbots suck at rhyming a lot more often than we think they do
Chat-GPT has gazillions of hours of data annotation but its siblings still struggle with anything that isn’t AABB
songs are frequently AWFUL)

otoh, even if it's a real asshole pretending to be a bot, at least you've derailed their shitty argument by making them come up with doggerel

transilience: oh for sure!

oh shit

FaeRose: ah gotcha

amazing

I like that even the one that spelled instructions "intructions" still worked
