Here's the problem: AI is gullible. INCREDIBLY gullible.

Prompt injection is an attack against AI gullibility.

Gullibility is not a characteristic of competent managers. One of the most important jobs of managers is to be able to see through bullshit and figure out what's actually going on.

I am extremely skeptical that the current generation of AI is capable of doing that.

It is for now, but rest assured that people will be working very hard on fixing that problem. I don’t doubt they will succeed.
