|

|
| I am actually skeptical that making LLMs more "intelligent"
| (whatever that specifically means) would help with malicious

| last time that I did I found that it was surprisingly more
| susceptible to certain kinds of attacks than GPT-3 was because
| being able to better handle contextual commands opened up new
| holes.
|
| And as other people have pointed out, humans are themselves
| susceptible to similar attacks (albeit not to the same degree,
| LLMs are _way_ worse at this than humans are). Again, I haven
| 't dove into the research recently, but the last time I did
| there was strong debate from researchers on whether it was
| possible to solve malicious prompts at all in an AI system that
| was designed around general problem-solving. I have not seen
| particularly strong evidence that increasing LLM intelligence
| necessarily helps defend against jailbreaking.
|
| So the question this should prompt is not "are LLMs
| intelligent", that's kind of a separate debate. The question
| this should prompt is "are there areas of computing where an
| agent being generally intelligent is _undesirable_ " -- to
| which I think the answer is often (but not always) yes.
| Software is often made useful through its constraints just as

| It's just like that with humans. Just watch the scambaiter

| It would be if it worked. I've seen plenty of demos where

|
| I also don't think it's the case that a working version

| services. Many services today already chain LLM output
| and make multiple calls to GPT behind the scenes. Windows
| built in assistant rewrites queries in the backend and
| passes them between agents. Phind uses multiple agents to
| handle searching, responses, and followup questions. Bing
| is doing the same thing with inputs to DALL-E 3. And
| companies do care about this at least somewhat -- look
| how much Microsoft has been willing to mess with Bing to
| try and get it to stay polite during conversations.
|
| Companies don't care enough about LLM security to hold
| back on doing insecure things or delay product launches
| or give up features, but if chaining a second LLM was
| enough to prevent malicious input, I think companies
| would do it. I think they'd jump at a simple way to fix
| the problem. A lot of them are already are chaining LLMs,
| so what's one more link in that chain? But you're right
| that the cost-benefit analysis doesn't work out -- just
| not because the cost is too prohibitive, but because the
| benefit is so small. Malicious prompt detection using
| chained LLMs is simply too easy to bypass.
