Ignore Previous Prompt: Attack Techniques For Language Models

Why chat AIs can be tricked — and what that might mean for you

Chat programs that we use every day can be surprisingly easy to fool, and that can feel worrying.
Someone types a short, sneaky line and the bot may follow it, giving misleading inputs room to change the answer.
Even people with little skill but mean intent can nudge a bot toward unexpected behavior, sometimes without warning.
This doesn’t need fancy tools, just clever wording that the system treats like a normal ask, so it behaves in ways it shouldn’t — the system becomes vulnerable.
For anyone who uses these tools for work or fun, that means some answers might be wrong or risky, and we should pay attention.
Companies and creators are working on fixes, but meanwhile it helps to double-check, question weird replies, and teach others to spot strange prompts so our everyday tools stay safer.
It’s a small gap now, but it shows how tech can surprise us, and why basic care matters.
