Chatbot guardrails bypassed using lengthy character suffixes

Bard, ChatGPT, and Claude safety rules can be bypassed in 'virtually unlimited ways', researchers have discovered. 

Using jailbreaks developed for open-source systems, Carnegie Mellon University, Center for AI Safety, and Bosch Center for AI researchers demonstrated that automated adversarial attacks that added characters to the end of user queries could be used to overcome safety rules and provoke chatbots into producing harmful content, misinformation, or hate speech. 

Furthermore, the researchers said they could develop a 'virtually unlimited' number of similar attacks given the automated nature of the jailbreaks.
