In chats that run long enough on ChatGPT, you'll see it begin to confuse prompts and responses, and eventually even confuse both for its system prompt. I suspect this sort of problem exists widely in AI.

Everything to do with LLM prompts reminds me of people doing regexes to try and sanitise input against SQL injections a few decades ago, just papering over the flaw but without any guarantees.

It's weird seeing people just adding a few more "REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T DO THAT" to the prompt and hoping, to me it's just an unacceptable risk, and any system using these needs to treat the entire LLM as untrusted the second you put any user input into the prompt.

The statement that current AI are "juniors" that need to be checked and managed still holds true. It is a tool based on probabilities.

If you are fine with giving every keys and write accesses to your junior because you think they will probability do the correct thing and make no mistake, then it's on you.

Like with juniors, you can vent on online forums, but ultimately you removed all the fool's guard you got and what they did has been done.
