alt Hacker NewsThe user asks for details of the last transaction, the user gets back the amount, the source, and the description in a safely quoted format with the LLM never reading it.
You can't inject the LLM if it doesn't see the data.
An architecture like this won't work in many situations, but it can work for a lot of simple questions.
And if you want the LLM to summarize things, you run an isolated instance that makes a summary and you never show that summary to the LLM that's following the user's instructions.

What's "safely quoted format" when prompt injection is already safe in the description?

How doesn't it see the data when you literally say "The user asks for details of the last transaction, the user gets back the amount, the source, and the description"?

And it will make a summary exactly how?
You can do this, it is useful, but it's just not the same as where the goalposts are now which is: the AI is a person in a box and can do everything a person can.
If we actually limit them to "only accepts tiny ultra well defined problems and ultra well defined outputs" then theycease being a $10T/year idea and become a merely $10B/year idea.
Thus, it is not exactly popular at the moment.
