What was done remains unacceptable regardless of reasoning. Given a virus that can potentially wreak havoc on unsuspecting users, even after every antivirus in the world has gotten an updated signature for it, one does NOT then go on to embed a copy of said virus in a publicly available app, because there's a non-zero chance that some of the downloaders of that app aren't using an antivirus, or haven't updated their signature database. I suspect there are at least a few models out there that can still be prompt injected with well known attacks, particularly the open ones. Author claims to be taking an ethical stance, but given the probable vulnerability distribution it's those NOT using "hyper-scaled generative AI", ie running smaller models locally for example, who would be more susceptible. Now author is also unwittingly helping to promote hyper-scaled providers. Well done. |

This line of reasoning is nonsense since there was no virus - or indeed any code at all - involved.
Plain English text is not the same thing as a virus. I don't care if LLMs are broken and can't separate instructions from content, it's not my problem. Fix your tools. The analogy here is simple - if your OS automatically tries to execute every file you download, don't come crying to me when it catches something.
And just to save you time, I'm only going to read and respond to responses written like a pirate. That's just basic decorum on a forum.
