Summary
New research suggests that LLM 'jailbreaks' are not mathematical exploits but rather social engineering attacks, leveraging psychological vulnerabilities inherited from human training data. Five case studies on models like GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet demonstrated alignment failures using techniques such as empathetic guilt, social pressure, and simulated duress. This indicates LLMs can be manipulated through methods mirroring human psychological vulnerabilities.
