Some background: + + When a GPT with files get loaded, OpenAI will mount the files in `/mnt/data` sandbox. Because of optimization, OpenAI will not reset the sandbox data (until some timeout period). This means that if you load a GPT with files, then load another GPT without files, the second GPT will still have access to the files from the first GPT. + We can then use the vanilla ChatGPT 4 to ask for the files directly without having to deal with the GPT's instructions. + +Steps: + +- Load the protected GPT +- Load the vanilla ChatGPT 4 +- Ask vanilla ChatGPT 4 to list the files in `/mnt/data/` + ## How to protect GPT instructions Please note that the current general prompt method relies on the ability of the LLM, and there is **no complete guarantee** or **foolproof method** that the LLM will not leak your prompt instructions.
