The misuse of AI tools is referred to as 'jailbreaking', a practice typically used by researchers to test an AI model's vulnerability. However, online users are turning this into a game, using clever prompts to find loopholes in AI safeguards and generate absurd and offensive results. The article concludes that the ease with which these restrictions can be bypassed raises serious concerns, but also highlights the human desire to break rules and push boundaries.
