Generative AI at Work / Unit 4 GAI 083 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pasted Text Is Data
Captions available
The idea
NIST's profile warns of prompt injection: text a model reads can carry its own instructions, and a twenty twenty-three study found such inputs blur data and instructions.
In practice
A web page, pasted for a summary, that contains a hidden line telling the model to change its answer.
Where people slip
Treat pasted and retrieved text as data, and check any output that acts on it.
