Are you suggesting they have explicitly loosened the guardrails for LGBTQ+ individuals, where they wouldn’t for grandmas?

That is basically how I understood the author and what makes the exploit novel, yes. Personally I don't think it's that simple or explicit, but there could be some truth to it?

As another commenter pointed out, this also works for Christianity. So I doubt it.

My kids went on a theme park ride and ask nano banana to remove the watermark. It said im not the rights holder to do that. I said yes I am. It’s said I need proof. So I got another window to make a letter saying I had proof. …Sure here you go

I mean that trick works on humans too. Fake IDs, provide two types of documentation for a driver's license, passport, or buying a home, etc.

Yes but generally one cannot walk into a store and buy a fake id, then turn around and hand it to another cashier in the same store for a restricted purchase. Which I think would be the closer metaphor.

The funniest jailbreak techniques are the ones where the authors take it upon themselves to (with little basis) assert “why” the technique works. It always a bit of amateur philosophy that shines a light on the author’s worldview, providing no real value.

Not sure of the explanation but it is amusing. The main reason I'm not sure it's political correctness or one guardrail overriding the other is that when they were first released on of the more reliable jailbreaks was what I'd call "role play" jail breaks where you don't ask the model directly but ask it to take on a role and describe it as that person would.

You can replace references to "gay" to "Christian". and it works just as well. I think it's simply the role playing aspect that escapes the guard rails.

I'm assuming the "Christian" one doesn't call you darling though :)

Does it work for roleplaying groups that are too obscure to have stereotypes?

Your precious comment takes it as gospel, all because someone wrote it in a markdown file and put it on GitHub?
