Overview

  • A new, simple attack strategy against multimodal models achieves over 90% success rate
  • Works against strong black-box models including GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, and Claude 3 Opus
  • Uses combinations of OCR-evading text and adversarial patches
  • Requires no special training - simple image manipulations are effective
  • Demonstrates significant security vulnerabilities in current vision-language models

Plain English Explanation

The paper reveals an alarmingly simple way to trick the latest AI vision systems. When AI models like GPT-4o or Claude look at images, they're supposed to reject harmful requests. But researchers found that by adding certain text patterns to images - either as a separate patch ...
