Static prompts are a downside of using academic research in a tool like this. Two notes:

* ineffective prompts come out of garak and new prompts come in to garak, so eval scores always drop over time on a static target

* there are more and more dynamic probes - check out eg atkgen and topic probes. expanding these is the current focus

I don't know, without enumerating risks to check, there's little basis for doing due diligence and quelling investors. This massively-cited paper gave a good point of departure for establishing rigorous use of LLMs in the real world. Without that, they're just an unestablished tech with unknown downsides - that's harder to get into true mass acceptance outside the SFBA/tech bubble.
