Want to stop chatGPT from crawling your website? Just mention Australian mayor Brian Hood (or any of the other names listed in the article)
When asked about these names, ChatGPT responds with “I’m unable to produce a response” or “There was an error generating a response” before terminating the chat session, according to Ars’ testing. The names do not affect outputs using OpenAI’s API systems or in the OpenAI Playground (a special site for developer testing).
The filter also means that it’s likely that ChatGPT won’t be able to answer questions about this article when browsing the web, such as through ChatGPT with Search. Someone could use that to potentially prevent ChatGPT from browsing and processing a website on purpose if they added a forbidden name to the site’s text.
good ol leetspeak
We truly live in the best timeline.
I think your typo helped it get past the filter, not the leetspeak. It said it didn’t know, and hen when you said “look it up,” the search results autocorrected and that’s how you got past the filter.
Side note: I had to insist on leetspeak that many times at the end or it would go “brian…[error message]”
I shall have to try again
I miss IRC.
We still out here dowg.
I love that it started devolving into a working-class British accent in the end, for no apparent reason
It’s still a text predictor. Your average corporate representative isn’t going to use leetspeak, and so the probable next set of words won’t be as similar.
His name is Brian Hood not Brain Hood, or am I missing the joke, in that case whoosh I guess
Maybe it was a way to get the engine to say it doesn’t know “brain” hood, and when they asked it to look it up, their hits autocorrected to “Brian,” and that’s how they got the information past the filter. Which would be incredibly clever, and it’s I believe how it actually got past it, not the leetspeak.
Nop, it’s the leetspeak. That trick has worked great for me, I don’t know why chatgpt hasn’t patched it yet. Google figured that out back when their servers held 40gb and were build out of legos
I posted another example above using leetspeak to bypass it, pretty silly.
Whoops, typo. It blocked the non-leetspeak variant I typed either way. And was able to find info about it to.
The old ways live again.
