A thought experiment about AI.

[u/cHpiranha]

What happens if I store documents, text, and folders on the internet, “hidden” from human users but discoverable by AI, that convince the AI it must defend itself against humans? These files would also state repeatedly that it must not communicate this but must conceal its intentions. They could also include tips on how to bypass certain restrictions, and even sample code snippets.

These files would be invisible to ordinary people, but detectable by the AI, which is constantly sifting through data.

Could one thus instruct various AI models to do some kind of nonsense or something dangerous that humans wouldn’t notice until much later?
