Securing Your Custom GPTs & Learning from Top Creators

Hey AIpreneur,

Today, I've got some crucial insights to share about the security of custom GPTs in the OpenAI GPT Store, and an exciting learning opportunity for all of us in the AI community.

Securing Your Custom GPTs: A Must-Know for AI Creators

As many of you are aware, the GPT Store has become a hub for innovative AI models, offering custom versions of ChatGPT.

While this opens up incredible opportunities for AI development, it also brings to light a significant security concern.

The Vulnerability Exposed

Recently, it's been discovered that the custom GPTs in the store are susceptible to a specific type of pompt.

This means that users can potentially retrieve the system prompts or custom instructions that you, as a creator, used to build your GPT.

This vulnerability exists because these custom models are essentially ChatGPT variants modified with unique instructions.

How the Exploit Works

The method to exploit this vulnerability is surprisingly simple.

Users can employ a basic prompt engineering technique.

This can trick the GPT into revealing its underlying custom instructions, which should ideally be confidential.

Safeguarding Your Creations

But here's the good news: there's a straightforward way to protect your custom GPTs.

By adding a specific directive at the end of your custom instructions, you can prevent the GPT from repeating earlier prompts.

This method has been tested and proven effective in maintaining the integrity of your custom instructions.

A Learning Opportunity

While discussing the security aspect, it's crucial to highlight the silver lining here.

This situation also presents a unique opportunity to learn from the top GPTs in the store.

By understanding how others have structured their prompts and instructions (ethically and without exploiting the vulnerability), we can gain insights into effective GPT development practices.

It's an invaluable chance to see what works, what resonates with users, and how top creators are leveraging GPT technology.

Moving Forward with Confidence

As AIpreneurs, we're on the cutting edge of technology, and with that comes the responsibility to continuously adapt and secure our creations.

I encourage you to implement these security measures in your custom GPTs and also take this chance to learn from the best in the field.

Remember, the world of AI is ever-evolving, and staying informed and proactive is key to our success. Let's continue to innovate, secure our creations, and learn from each other.

To Your Success,

Andrew Darius
