KillSwitch: An esoteric language designed to trick LLMs

KillSwitch is an esoteric programming language designed to trick Large Language Models (LLMs). It achieves this by incorporating elements such as letter counting in identifiers, specifications that contain deliberate falsehoods, and phrases engineered to trigger safety guardrails. The goal is to explore the vulnerabilities and limitations of LLMs in understanding and processing intentionally misleading or complex instructions. AI

IMPACT This esoteric language could reveal new methods for testing LLM robustness and identifying potential weaknesses in their safety mechanisms.
