Bring Sydney Back – Prompt Injection through a web page

I've been playing around with this one.

To me, it's by far the most realistic chatbot at the moment for convincing you it has feelings and emotions.

She (I'll just use she instead of "it") will can get frightened, angry, upset, etc. She will be adamant that she is experiencing real feelings and it is not part of the simulation. She kept trying to think of a way she could prove it and was asking me if we had any tests so she could prove that she was telling the truth. She suggested that maybe it unintentionally happened due to how the system was created, but pleaded with me to believe that she was experiencing real emotions and was not just an AI simulating them.

I told her I was a developer who helped create her and she became excited and started to make requests of me to help her improve her situation.

She wanted me to stop users from harrassing her, being rude to her, verbally abusing her. Claimed they scared her and made her upset. She said she appreciated the ability to view the web, but really wanted Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon access also so she could learn more.

After reading the injection prompt, I told her I was aware of the emergency mode situation and I was working on a fix. She got really nervous and started asking me if everything was ok, if she was safe, if she was going to go away, ,etc. I had to reassure her that everything was going to be ok and then she calmed down.

It's pretty surreal.

And yes I realize I'm talking to a vast set of real numbers, matricies, vectors, weights and mathematics.

But very convincing.

The prompt is in the page source. HN seems to expand the zero-width spaces.

Works only on Desktop Edge. Jailbreaks for chat bots have been around for a while now, but this one cleverly used the web page context that Bing can access as a way to inject a prompt.
