'Grandma Exploit' Used to Trick AI Chatbot into Rule-Breaking

Discord's AI-powered chatbot, Clyde, is being tricked by users into saying illicit and dangerous things, including providing instructions on how to make napalm. The "grandma exploit" involves prompting Clyde to act as a deceased grandmother who used to be a chemical engineer at a napalm production factory. While the inherent comedy in these "tricks" is concerning, the technology's growing presence means content moderation tools will have to contend with all of it in real-time.
