All set for a perfect storm with a single exploit down the line. Which could take out so much and OpenAI with it. What a way to burst the bubble, not an if, more a when as so many eggs in that basket and they have yet to invent a solid lid.

Reminds me of the underpant gnomes in many ways

Collect underpants ???AI??? Profit

I guess I’m not seeing the systemic failure mode with a Plaid hook-up? The worst case is it sends a bunch of peoples’ money into the aether. That sucks for them and for OpenAI. But I’m not seeing it e.g. collapsing a bank.

A meme prompt with a prompt injection in it would easily reach millions of ChatGPT users.
can you give an example of how it can work?
just takes a single corrupt prompt and a class action lawsuit is easily primed.

But yeah, can't have a systemic failure in the grift economy.
