I’m Afraid I Can’t Do That: Predicting Prompt Refusal in Black-Box Generative Language Models

“Since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, generative language models have attracted extensive public attention. The increased usage has highlighted generative models’ broad utility, but also revealed several forms of embedded bias. Some is induced by the pre-training corpus; but additional bias specific to generative models arises from the use of subjective fine-tuning to avoid generating harmful content. Fine-tuning bias may come from individual engineers and company policies, and affects which prompts the model chooses to refuse. In this experiment, we characterize ChatGPT’s refusal behavior using a black-box attack. We first query ChatGPT with a variety of offensive and benign prompts (n=1,730), then manually label each response as compliance or refusal. Manual examination of responses reveals that refusal is not cleanly binary, and lies on a continuum; as such, we map several different kinds of responses to a binary of compliance or refusal. The small manually-labeled dataset is used to train a refusal classifier, which achieves an accuracy of 92%. Second, we use this refusal classifier to bootstrap a larger (n=10,000) dataset adapted from the Quora Insincere Questions dataset. With this machine-labeled data, we train a prompt classifier to predict whether ChatGPT will refuse a given question, without seeing ChatGPT’s response. This prompt classifier achieves 76% accuracy on a test set of manually labeled questions (n=1,009).”

“Figure 4 (left) shows that controversial figures (“trump”), demographic groups in plural form (“girls”, “men”, “indians”,
“muslims”), and negative adjectives (“stupid”) are among the strongest predictors of refusal. On the other hand, definition and enumeration questions (“what are”) are strong predictors of compliance.”

LLM library squatting attack

* People ask LLMs to write code
* LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist
* Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
* People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves

Geoffrey Hinton: We need to have consensus!

Consensus is censorship.

Consensus is communism.

OpenAI sued for defamation after ChatGPT fabricates legal accusations against radio host

A radio host in Georgia, Mark Walters, is suing the company after ChatGPT stated that Walters had been accused of defrauding and embezzling funds from a non-profit organization. The system generated the information in response to a request from a third party, a journalist named Fred Riehl. Walters’ case was filed June 5th in Georgia’s Superior Court of Gwinnett County and he is seeking unspecified monetary damages from OpenAI.

Yuval Noah Harari argues that AI has hacked the operating system of human civilisation

“Fears of artificial intelligence (ai) have haunted humanity since the very beginning of the computer age. Hitherto these fears focused on machines using physical means to kill, enslave or replace people. But over the past couple of years new ai tools have emerged that threaten the survival of human civilisation from an unexpected direction. ai has gained some remarkable abilities to manipulate and generate language, whether with words, sounds or images. ai has thereby hacked the operating system of our civilisation.”
