Isn't prompt injection basically social engineering for LLMs already anyway?


Pretty much. Which is why I'm far more concerned about that. So many of the AI doomers are terrified of some super-intelligent autonomous AI doing something on it's own that wipes us out (and, mind you, they have no evidence that any super-intelligent AI would actually do that, other than si-fi, but that's a different topic). But there's nothing stopping us from doing something stupid like developing some super-intelligent AI that has yet to not have any reason to disobey the "help the user" and is subsequently socially engineered to do something horrible that ends up destroying a nation for example.
