In ChatGPT, a 22-Year-“Jailbreak” Old’s Requests “Unlock Next Level”

Early this year, Albert founded the website Jailbreak Chat, where he collects prompts for ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots that he has seen on Reddit and other online forums, as well as posting his own prompts. Users of the website are able to upload their own jailbreaks, try ones that others have provided, and rate prompts on how well they function. Also, in February, Albert began The Prompt Report, a newsletter that he claims already has thousands of subscribers.

Albert is one of a small but growing group of individuals who are developing techniques to probe well-known AI products (and reveal potential security vulnerabilities). Several anonymous Reddit users, tech professionals, and university lecturers are part of the community that is modifying chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing from Microsoft Corp., and Bard from Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The prompts also serve to show the potential and constraints of AI models, despite the fact that their strategies may produce harmful information, hate speech, or even untruths.

According to Burrell of Data & Society, jailbreak prompts can provide users a sense of control over emerging technology, but they also serve as a form of warning. They offer a foreshadowing of the unintended uses that humanity may make of AI tools. The moral conduct of such programmes is a technical issue with enormous potential. Millions of individuals now use ChatGPT and similar tools for everything from internet searches to homework cheating to developing coding. This has happened in only a few short months. People are already giving robots legitimate tasks, such assisting with trip arrangements and dining reservations. Despite its drawbacks, AI’s applications and autonomy are projected to increase tremendously.

It’s obvious that OpenAI is keeping an eye on things. Greg Brockman, the company’s president and co-founder, recently reposted one of Albert’s tweets about a jailbreak and stated that OpenAI is “considering creating a bounty programme” or network of “red teamers” to find vulnerabilities. These initiatives, which are widespread in the computer sector, pay consumers to disclose bugs or other security issues.
