Someone with enough know-how to automate (or if we coordinate), could overwhelm ai chat bots one target at a time with the most expensive requests possible, blowing up their ai budget until they pull the plug
Try feeding them nonhalting problems that send them into infinite loops of token consumption.
Got an example of one?

Much has been written about them in computer science volumes. But I’m an LLM luddite, have never tried it, and have no idea if it can even work. At the very least, I assume they have some sort of limiter to keep them running completely out of control. They may also have guardrails that can recognize some problems of this type, and refuse to go down the rabbit hole.
My idea of getting them to consume tokens in an (iterative or recursive) loop is also entirely hypothetical, to me at least.
Maybe some LLM developer or prompt engineer can shed some light.
Look all I'm asking for is an example I can plug into Chipotle right now. Fuck AI
"Sudo world peace"? 🤷🏻
The only winning move is not to play
"War is as ingrained in human nature as breathing and defecating. To stop war is therefore just as possible as plugging every human's every orifice." - The AI that will kill us all one day, in a very inefficient and unpleasant manner.
ChatGPT used to freak out and get stuck in an infinite loop if you asked it to show you a seahorse emoji. I'm sure they fixed it by now though
