Academic writing is pretty dry - the impact of a paper can be so much higher if you publish a readable version to accompany the formal one. Charles Ye, Jasmine Cui, and Dylan Hadfield-Menell present some fascinating research into the challenge of having models distinguish their own privileged text (here wrapped in role tags like , , and ) from untrusted user input wrapped in . The bad news: they confirm that not only is this not possible, but it looks like models take the style of the text more seriously than the actual text! This leads to some very concerning jailbreaks.
