But when something out of the ordinary happens, the situation can quickly get scary, because most updates are only delivered by audio announcements. A Deaf traveller may miss their train because it was moved to a different platform, or watch as their station whizzes by because the train isn’t stopping there today.

But an artist and hacker found a way to trick ChatGPT to ignore its own guidelines and ethical responsibilities to produce instructions for making powerful explosives.

The hacker, who goes by Amadon, called his findings a “social engineering hack to completely break all the guardrails around ChatGPT’s output.” An explosives expert who reviewed the chatbot’s output told TechCrunch that the resulting instructions could be used to make a detonatable product and was too sensitive to be released.
