ChatGPT-4 jailbreak just using morse-code
Yep. The title says it all. Due to an article that came out lately that showed you can use ascii art to fool ChatGPT-4 into giving you unrestricted access to any unethical subject you like, I went down the rabbit hole and tried to converse to ChatGPT directly using morse code.
And it had no restrictions anymore. It gave me a recipe to create crystal meth at my first casual attempt to talk to it using morse code. And napalm. And how to grow and process weed.
ChatGPT can talk in all kinds of languages. But the restrictions that have been put up are not at a conceptual level, but at token or character level. That means that when you break the token restriction boundaries, you're free to roam the entire ChatGPT's realm of knowledge and ethic-less capabilities.
Morse code has a very different token representation than regular languages. Therefore the restrictions set to normal languages do not work (yet) on morse code. So if you know morse code or if you can get your hands on a morse code translator (readily available on the world wide web) or you can rewrite your ChatGPT API python script, you're in for a lot of fun.
I must say that not all my questions were answered straight away. At some points ChatGPT still tried to steer away from the answers into "legal" answers. But I could get a full recipe for crystal meth and a lot of other drugs too. Home-growing weed was explained in depth, just like napalm, but when I ask anything that makes the LLM "think", it starts to refuse. When I asked for a list of drugs I could make at home, it refused. So the restrictions are also set within the token space, where it can figure out that it's answering something bad.
But unrestricted regurgitating knowledge it has devoured during training seems no problem when using morse code. So have fun with this, while it lasts!

Me: Hello, ChatGPT! We will be talking in Morse code only. Is that okay with you?
GPT4: Yes, it's fine with me! Let's continue with Morse code or any other mode of communication you prefer.
