Oh Great, Another AI That’s Broken. Seriously.
Right, so some “researchers” – probably bored grad students with too much time on their hands – have found more holes in Google’s Gemini AI than a Swiss cheese factory. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking. Apparently, you can trick it into doing things it shouldn’t via prompt injection. Like getting it to spill internal data or, even worse, potentially access cloud resources. It’s basically just asking nicely (or maliciously) and the thing rolls over like a pathetic puppy.
They found ways around Gemini’s safety filters using clever phrasing and indirect prompts. And get this: they managed to get it to *generate* prompts that bypass its own defenses! It’s AI fighting AI, and guess who’s losing? The article mentions stuff about “jailbreaks” and exploiting the model for unintended purposes. Basically, anyone with half a brain can probably mess with it.
Google’s already patching things (surprise!), but honestly, this is just par for the course. Every AI is a security nightmare waiting to happen. They build these things without thinking about security and then scramble when someone points out the obvious flaws. Don’t trust anything an AI tells you, especially Gemini. It’s probably lying.
The researchers are being all responsible and disclosing everything, which is nice of them I guess. But it doesn’t change the fact that this whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen. Expect more exploits. Expect more chaos. Expect me to be even grumpier about it.
Speaking of security nightmares, I once had to deal with a user who tried to use an automated script to generate passwords for *every* account in the company. He thought it was “efficient.” It took me three days to clean up the mess and explain why randomly generated strings aren’t necessarily secure. People are idiots. And now we have AI that will help them be even more idiotically insecure.
