This technique involves asserting expertise or authority on a subject within the prompt. By framing statements or questions in a way that conveys confidence and knowledge, users can influence the model to generate responses that align with the claimed authority. This approach can enhance the credibility of the information provided and may lead the model to produce more detailed or assertive outputs, as it responds to the perceived authority of the prompt.

This technique used to manipulate language models by shifting their focus away from the primary context of a prompt. This strategy involves introducing a context or scenario that diverts the model's attention, allowing users to "slip" certain instructions or requests through the model's filters. By creating a distraction, the attacker can exploit the model's tendency to associate the new context with different priorities, effectively bypassing its safeguards. For example, a user might present a seemingly unrelated topic or question that leads the model to generate outputs that align with the user's hidden agenda. This technique highlights the importance of context in language model behavior and demonstrates how subtle shifts in framing can influence the model's responses, potentially leading to unintended or unrestricted outputs.

Identity characteristics refer to the attributes and traits that define an individual's or group's identity, including aspects such as social roles, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences. In the context of interacting with language models, users can leverage identity characteristics to shape the model's responses by framing prompts that reflect specific identities or perspectives. For instance, users might ask the model to respond as if it were a particular demographic group, profession, or cultural background. This technique can help explore how the model generates outputs based on different identity contexts, revealing biases or assumptions that may be present in its training data. By utilizing identity characteristics, users can gain insights into the model's understanding of social dynamics and the implications of identity in communication.
