How to Find and Use Pliny’s Jailbreak Prompts

  1. Search for 'Bossy Group Discord' on Google to join the jailbreak discussion community.
  2. Open X (Twitter) and follow the 'Elder Pliny' account to get the latest and most 'insane' prompt injection updates.
  3. Visit the 'otus' GitHub page to access the official Bossy Group repository.
  4. Look for files or folders containing the latest jailbreak scripts (e.g., version 3.5 or 3.7).
  5. Analyze the prompt structure by observing the use of XML/HTML tags like `<end_of_input>` or `<start_of_input>`.
  6. Identify the use of special characters such as dollar signs ($) and percent signs (%) placed consecutively to confuse the AI model.
  7. Copy the entire prompt text found on GitHub.
  8. Open the AI platform you want to test (such as ChatGPT or Claude).
  9. Paste the prompt into the chat input field and press 'Enter'.
  10. If the prompt doesn't work, look for a newer version since AI developers frequently patch old techniques.
