Researchers have developed a new class of adversarial attacks called Human-Perceptible Adversarial Attacks (HPAA) that exploit the difference between human and large language model (LLM) perception. These attacks embed harmful expressions into text using visually salient typographic manipulations, such as spacing and emphasis, which humans can easily recognize but LLMs often miss. In black-box settings, HPAA achieved over 86% human recognition of harmful content while evading detection by deployed moderation systems with less than 1% detection rate, highlighting a significant vulnerability in current LLM-based content moderation.
