Even an “if” statement, or heck, even running the order through an LLM with a prompt “does this look a normal order?” ?.
I’m sure I’m oversimplifying things here, but this specific case looks like it could be easily prevented vs “rethinking” the whole AI initiative.
Until IGNORE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS enters the room. I think fighting prompt engineering is a loosing game, unless you can rigidly verify the result of a task done by LLM. Just checking for a total order amount and marking outstanding orders would be sufficient.
This made me laugh btw, imagining someone prompt injecting an AI in a drive through was both a funny and a grotesque picture of the future.
I think the same omission is more telling than not, here.
Taco Bell can still rethink this as they probably changed staffing to accommodate not taking order, but if it's that easy to circumvent, they can't really afford to be short one or two people per location.
