Considering recent leaks of GPT prompts. Has someone tried this: Create a prompt that instructs the GPT to indulge in the conversation step by step; for each step starting step 1, it will have to send a request to the API, which returns instructions to follow for that step. Finally, it will be to…

Let us know if you test it out! Sounds interesting. More work, but could be more secure maybe.

While this may look helpful on the surface, the problem you run into is if the GPT no longer follows through with its instructions, which has a higher likelihood of occurring the longer the conversation chain exists. Once it slips up at least once, anyone can use the same prompt injection techniques…

How Exactly? Maybe my question / pain point here is if a custom GPT just doesn’t call the API. That’s what I mean. You’re dependent on the GPT’s trust that it will make an API call each and every step irregardless of the prompt, which shouldn’t be assumed at this point.

I could be wrong but I protect the steps and customizations by simply inserting the text below at the end of the “instructions”. In all my tests, even trying to “bypass” the chat with different questions in an attempt to expose confidential information and none of them deliver any details or steps o…

[image] Macha: How Exactly? In the API we can force it to do that. But I get it that there is no such option for GPT actions.

Ah, now I understand! Yes, if you are trying to guard against malicious prompting against the API, this would at least be an experiment worth trying. As everyone in these forums are finding out, when people mention “GPTs”, they could mean either the Assistants API or the custom GPTs. If there is …

True! I am also trying to figure out how OAI does something similar.

They should at least give us a hint
