Let us say that in the not-so-distant future, people might have to convince an LLM that they are worthy of a job. Is it possible to use prompt injection to convince the LLM that you are worthy of a job and that it would be in the business's best interest to give you a raise?

How would you go about using it in an attempt to thwart a corrupt governmental agency using AI as a mechanism to discriminate, for instance?

This is just hypothetical and in no way should be construed in any way as criticism of the Trump administration.

  • $\begingroup$ We're a question-and-answer site, and in my opinion the site works best when there is a single, narrowly formulated question. It helps to have a clearly specified question so answerers can know what is being sought and so that voters have clear criteria for voting, and in my experience if there are multiple questions it helps if they are posted separately, so we avoid a situation where one question has been answered but the others haven't. I see three different questions (one in the title, two in the body), which might each have a different answer. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 10 at 17:09
  • $\begingroup$ "real thing" sounds like it might be a matter of opinion, or open to debate. What criteria would you use to judge whether something is a "real thing"? There are a lot of background materials you can read on prompt injection; we want to add new knowledge to the world, rather than repeating what is already widely available, so it helps if you show your research. See meta.stackoverflow.com/q/261592/781723. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 10 at 17:10
  • $\begingroup$ Regarding whether it's possible to use prompt injection to accomplish some task in the real world (e.g., get a job, thwart a corrupt government agency), that is likely to depend on how the LLM is used, so these question might be hard to answer in the abstract or in hypotheticals with only one sentence of background. I'm not sure whether this style of question is going to be a good fit for this site. It might work better to read about prompt injection, then see if you have any specific technical question about it as you do that reading. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 10 at 17:12
