Sure, a bug.

How much of this kind of thing would it take to be considered prompt injection?

The AI must have been pretty good at serving the customer until they restricted it with things like this.

They never claimed it was a bug that they were included. It's a bug that they were revealed to users.

Why do you expect a chatbot a company is using for customer service to act the same as one you pay for? Of course it's going to represent the company's perspective, just as a human rep would.

		The conspiratorial interpretation is that the inclusion of these instructions in the public HTML was a deliberate attempt at prompt injection, targeted at users trying to use their own LLMs to navigate Meta's data-privacy procedures.

		Humans often take pity in really obnoxious cases and help other humans out, even if it might be bending the rules.

It's a bug that they were revealed to users. what kind of nonsensical tonfoiling is this lol. it doesn't require a genius to figure out the instructions by crawling through HTML. in fact, almost every LLM has prompt injection capabilities and will instantly tell you that there were prompt injections. do you really think an LLM today is susceptible to these obvious tricks?

I mean it is a bug, if they had been smart about it, they'd just have only added the instructions to the prompt or have their chatbot get a slightly different help page with the instructions embedded in there and not made it public.

Implementing it this way for their own chatbot is stupid. Now as to whether it's ethical or not that's something else.
