I bet the Zapier integration is going to be an alignment/security dumpster-fire.

Now, when a bot gets prompt-hijacked into a malicious personality, it can make API calls to other systems! Great news.

Also, plug-in APIs will presumably be able to prompt-hijack the GPT instance that is calling them.

I would not be surprised if we see someone get swatted through GPT this year, I think it’s very likely to be within the next 2 or 3 years.




This whole thing is an alignment/security nightmare.

It's like hooking a lawnmower up to one of those "let the fish steer the car" devices...

I think the, ummm, interesting thing will be swatting in say 50 different locales simultaneously. Each one could have multiple customized messages for the 911 operators.
