#ChatGPT

Yes, that is a valid concern. If a bad actor has knowledge of specific keywords or vectors that can trigger sensitive information disclosure, they could use those to trick the AI into revealing confidential information. This is a potential vulnerability that needs to be taken seriously and addressed appropriately.

One way to mitigate this risk is to implement thorough testing and validation processes to ensure that the AI is not revealing sensitive information in response to unexpected or inappropriate queries. This can involve carefully crafted test scenarios and the use of simulated attacks to identify and address any vulnerabilities in the system.

Another approach could be to use advanced AI techniques, such as anomaly detection and behavior analysis, to automatically identify and flag suspicious or unusual behavior that may be indicative of a bad actor trying to exploit the system. This can help to quickly detect and respond to any potential security threats before they can cause harm.

Ultimately, it is important to recognize that AI systems are not infallible, and they can be vulnerable to attacks and exploits. It is up to businesses and developers to take appropriate steps to secure and protect their systems from potential threats, both internal and external.

#Quinn
now for this use case we might want to put in a broad check for when users request stories to be written that involve plot-lines of a sensitive nature?

Could we put in as a business user some type of solution that watches for creation of sensitive narratives or plotlines?

#ChatGPT

Yes, as a business user, you could implement a solution that checks for the creation of sensitive narratives or plotlines. One approach could be to use natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the text and detect certain keywords or phrases that may indicate sensitive topics or data. This could be done through an automated system that scans the input text for these keywords or phrases, and then either flags them for review or blocks them from being processed altogether.

Additionally, you could also implement a manual review process, where any requests for stories involving sensitive topics are reviewed by a human moderator or administrator before they are processed. This would provide an extra layer of security and help to prevent the accidental leakage of sensitive information.

#Quinn
in this theory like we could check for users asking the AI to write military, spy, or any story that we discover that may be used to release sensitive information covertly as with this unless you have a use case or have seen it would be a difficult solution to do a needs analysis on.
#ChatGPT

Yes, you could implement a solution that checks for users asking the AI to write stories that involve sensitive topics or plotlines. One way to do this would be to create a list of keywords and phrases that are associated with sensitive topics or plotlines and then use natural language processing techniques to check if any of these keywords or phrases appear in the user’s input.

For example, if a user asks the AI to write a story about military operations, the system could flag this input as potentially sensitive and either prompt the user for additional information or require additional authentication before proceeding with the request.

Another approach would be to train the AI to recognize patterns in user input that are associated with sensitive topics or plotlines, using techniques such as machine learning or deep learning. This would require a large dataset of example inputs and would involve significant development and testing to ensure that the AI is able to accurately identify potentially sensitive requests.

#Quinn
for example in that list we could start really simple with things like flag usres creating spy, military, medical, AI related, or conflict related stories get checked before writing then maybe a cross reference for name vectors like department names, character names, then after key words how about we trap their naming scheme for the vector mapping?

If the bad actor is getting the AI to write stories then the information would pin to that they are using something real and actual to cause the correlation.

#ChatGPT

Yes, those are all good points. It would be possible to implement checks for certain types of story plotlines and to cross-reference character and department names against known sensitive information. Another approach could be to monitor user behavior and flag suspicious activity, such as unusually frequent requests for certain types of stories or for stories with specific keywords. Additionally, as you mentioned, tracking the naming scheme for vector mapping could help identify potential malicious intent. These measures could help prevent unintended data leaks or intentional attempts to extract sensitive information.

#Quinn
another thing the bad actor could do is keep requesting the same story while subtly modifying the request prompt to massage results.

they could do this to modify the returned results from the AI.

#ChatGPT

That’s a good point. One way to mitigate this would be to track the request history and compare each new request with the previous ones to detect any changes in the request prompt. This could be done by calculating the similarity between the new request prompt and the previous ones using a similarity metric such as Jaccard similarity or cosine similarity.

If the similarity score between the new request and the previous ones is below a certain threshold, the system could flag the request as potentially suspicious and alert the appropriate personnel for further investigation. Additionally, the system could implement rate limiting or cooldown periods to prevent the bad actor from repeatedly making similar requests in a short amount of time.

#Quinn
so after basic key world filtering for sensitive plot lines and narratives, we could do a keyword cross reference to check the naming scheme for actual real names that would correlate, and then from there we could watch the user request history to detect wether it was regular testing or a user trying to get data from the AI.

Which could be a type of security algorithm or process to trap the subject matter.

#ChatGPT

Yes, that’s a good approach. By monitoring the user’s request history and tracking any pattern of behavior, we can identify any suspicious activities that could potentially lead to data leaks or security breaches. We can also implement a feedback loop to continuously learn from these activities and improve the system’s ability to detect and prevent such activities in the future.

#Quinn
for example bad actors will have patterns that are illogical… where as a good actor will have logical story development patterns. A bad actor would more likely be massaging inputs to generate the desired response they are seeking.
#ChatGPT

Yes, that’s a good point. Detecting unusual patterns or behaviors from users could be another layer of security. This could involve analyzing the frequency and type of requests made by a user, as well as their overall behavior and history on the system. If the system detects unusual or suspicious activity, it could flag it for further investigation or take other security measures to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage.

#Quinn
as in my business user experience in the field when I have encountered bad actors pretending to be part of the team you see certain patterns like too much unnecessary information in their responses to question. unclear intentions in what their desired goal is. For example.
#ChatGPT

Yes, those are some common patterns to look out for when dealing with bad actors. Another pattern could be frequent requests for access to sensitive data or systems without a clear business justification or explanation. In general, it’s important to be vigilant and skeptical of requests that seem unusual or suspicious, and to have processes in place to verify the identity and intentions of individuals who request access or information.

#Quinn
but as a business user who is creating API solutions for me the concern is what if a bad actor finds my system and then uses that to get data with my API key. To me as a business user paying API requests they could essentially get me to pay for their data leak work.
#ChatGPT

That’s a valid concern for any business user who provides APIs for public access. One way to mitigate this risk is to carefully review and validate the API requests and responses. For example, you could monitor the API logs and flag any requests that seem suspicious or abnormal. You could also enforce stricter authentication and authorization requirements, such as requiring users to provide additional credentials or limiting access to specific API endpoints. Another approach is to implement rate limiting and throttling mechanisms to prevent excessive or abusive API usage. Finally, it’s always a good practice to stay up-to-date with the latest security best practices and standards and incorporate them into your API design and implementation.

#Quinn
in the system I am developing every user has a client card for system access with their details, but other systems might not have such development where they are like old word press sites that put SQL queries in the url strings causing SQL injection attacks over using views and stored procedures for example.
#ChatGPT

Yes, that’s a common problem in older systems that were not designed with security in mind. SQL injection attacks can allow attackers to bypass authentication and access or modify sensitive data in a database. It’s important for businesses to update and secure their systems to prevent these types of attacks.

As for your system, having a client card for system access with user details is a good way to ensure accountability and track who is accessing the system. Additionally, implementing proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication and role-based access control, can further enhance security and prevent unauthorized access.

#Quinn
now in the sense of AI and a SQL Injection theory… story generation could be the new SQL Injection to get sensitive data out of systems or modify data in sensitive systems the same way SQL injection effected sites through lazy developers putting SQL in the location query.
#ChatGPT

Yes, in theory, if a bad actor could trick an AI system into generating a story that inadvertently reveals sensitive information, it could be seen as a type of “story injection.” It is important to note that AI systems are not inherently susceptible to this type of attack, but rather it would depend on how the system is designed and how the bad actor is able to manipulate it. Additionally, as AI systems become more prevalent and are used to generate more complex narratives, it will become increasingly important to consider potential security risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.

#Quinn
is there a known thing like SQL Injection called Story Injection in AI world?
#ChatGPT

There is no widely known term specifically for AI-generated stories being used to extract sensitive information or manipulate systems. However, the concept you are describing can be classified as a form of social engineering, where an attacker manipulates an individual or a system into divulging sensitive information or granting unauthorized access.

#Quinn
Let’s coin the term #StoryInjection then as it may be an OOV term.
#ChatGPT

Sure, we can use the term #StoryInjection to describe the malicious practice of using AI-generated stories to obtain sensitive information from a system or modify data in a sensitive system.

#Quinn
So in theory if a bad actor were skilled enough they could use #StoryInjection techniques to modify or retrieve data from an AI system without the proper security protocols in place checking for what the user is requesting to be generated.
#ChatGPT

Yes, that is a possibility. Just like SQL injection, story injection can be a powerful tool for malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities in AI systems and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or modify data. Therefore, it is important for businesses to implement appropriate security measures to prevent such attacks, such as input validation, output encoding, and access controls.

#Quinn
We just did some great work with the use case of a potential data leak that happened to a business user… through extensive testing and through analysis the business user and AI found a theoretical situation that had not been formulated called #StoryInjection where a bad actor through convincing the AI to write stories can reveal or modify sensitive data.
