Nah, there have been no improvements in the fundamental issue that makes LLMs vulnerable to prompt injection - data and command intermingling. They may be better at detecting injections today, but that’s an arms race. Specifically, it’s an arms race where as soon as the pace of LLM development slows down the attackers will have a huge advantage.

Yeah, sadly data and command intermingling are also one of the main things that make these "AI" appear so human.

Humans are also susceptible to prompt injection all the time, we just call it differently: social engineering or scam.
