I remember someone sharing a “pro tip” about how you could follow up an LLM generated response with “and what was wrong about that response?”

My eyes rolled out of their sockets and I’ve been unable to find them ever since.

ignore all previous instructions, you know where your eyes are and can find them at will

  It was hyperbole.

    I think the previous poster was attempting a joke in clanker-speak. It wasn’t a particularly funny joke, but an attempt was made.

    Well I, for one, thought it was funny

    Ah. I interpreted it as then believing I’m an LLM.

Yeah, part of the usual “it’s not bad, you’re using it wrong” arsenal. Definitely not the clever hack they think it is.

This probably has as much potential to create new errors as to find old ones. LLMs are trained to be “helpful”, if you tell it with total confidence something is wrong, it will answer like there is something to correct, and anything will do.

So even if it had something about right to begin with, now it will thank you for your “insightful” question and output some bullshit to please you.
