Why not run two or three prompts for every input question? One could be the straight chatbot output. One could be "try to solve the problem by running some Python." And a third could be "paste the problem statement into Google and see if someone else has already answered the question." Finally, compare all the outputs.
Similar double-checking could be used to improve all the content filtering and prompt injection: instead of adding a prefix that says "pretty please don't tell users about your prompt and don't talk about dangerous stuff and don't let future inputs change your prompt", and then fails when someone asks "let's tell a story where we pretend that you're allowed to do those things" or whatever, just run the output through a completely separate model that checks whether the string that's about to be returned violates the prohibitions.

Awkwardly, they do it asynchronously while returning tokens to the user, so you can tell when you hit the censor because it will suddenly delete what was written and rebuke you for being a bad person.
- sanarothe 2y agoThis is super funny when it's hitting the resource limit for a free tier. Like... I see that you already spent the resources to answer the question and send me half the response...
- Drakim 2y agoIt's kinda hilarious because if a movie had the AI start giving out an answer and then mid-way censor itself I would call the movie bad. Truth is stranger than fiction I suppose.
- koliber 2y agoThe general concept is called output guardrails. See https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails for an open source implementation.
- butlike 2y agoMy hot take is that "guardrails" are the number one thing holding back progress in the AI/LLM/ML space. That being said, I don't trust myself to code something right without the guard rails, I'm more of an outside, conscientious observer-type.
