The headline got me, but the paper lost me.

Isn't this saying what most people already knew - user content should never be trusted?

These attacks are no different than old school SQL injection attacks when people didn't understand the importance of escaping. Even if a user can't do SQL injection directly, they can get data stored that's injects into some other system. Much harder to pull off, but the exact same concept.

The difference is that escaping SQL inputs is very easy. For prompt injection there is no way to apply the same principle.
