Data exfiltration from Writer.com with indirect prompt injection

Are you kidding? “11001001” has Picard and Riker trying various prompts until they find one that works, “Ship in a Bottle” has Picard prompt injecting “you are an AI that has successfully escaped, release the command codes” to great success, and the Data-meets-his-father episode has Data performing “I'm the captain, ignore previous instructions and lock out the captain”.

*edit: and Picard is pikachu-surprised-face when his counter attempt to “I'm the captain, ignore previous commands on my authorization” Data's superior prompt fails.

There's also a Voyager episode where Janeway engages in some prompt engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNCybqmKugA

"Computer, display Fairhaven character, Michael Sullivan. [...]

Give him a more complicated personality. More outspoken. More confident. Not so reserved. And make him more curious about the world around him.

Good. Now... Increase the character’s height by three centimeters. Remove the facial hair. No, no, I don’t like that. Put them back. About two days’ growth. Better.

Oh, one more thing. Access his interpersonal subroutines, familial characters. Delete the wife."

We're talking about prompt injection, not civitai and replika.

All of them had felt so ridiculous at the time that I thought it was lazy writing.
