Here's why I think this is a big problem for a lot of the things people want to build with LLMs: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/14/worst-that-can-happen/

I suggest reading my blog closer if you think I'm trying to scare people off GPT. Take a look at these series of posts for example:

https://simonwillison.net/series/using-chatgpt/ - about constructive ways to use ChatGPT

https://simonwillison.net/series/llms-on-personal-devices/ - tracking the development of LLMs that can run on personal devices

You've also seen a bunch of my content on Hacker News because I'm one of the only people writing about it - if very much like not to be!

With all due respect, I would also like to market someone else who has also been posting similar content, but for some reason those posts never make it to the top. If you don't believe me, you can check the following submissions:

[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35915140

They have been consistently putting the risks of LLMs. Thanks for spreading the information though. Cheers.

These posts are coming out of the same team that popularized the term "indirect prompt injection" around Bing chat, which was a pretty big wake-up call to me about the potential dangers. Definitely worth following.
