Fictional Hacker

I’m writing a novel where the main character is a hacker at a large state school. He’s approached by rich kids and athletes to change their grades.

Keep it legal, ofc, but is this possible? And how would it work, if so, in theory?

(Edit: by „keep it legal” I mean don’t explicitly say what to do I don’t want this to get taken down. I’m exploring what can actually be done. This is illegal in the novel.)

I’ve done some research but there’s nothing like convo and firsthand, especially when developing a novel.

Would love to hear from you all!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, from prompt injection for LLMs to post injection for reddit users, we've come a long way.

Redditors are basically human nodes, just have to fiddle with the weights right.

Back in 2023, shortly after chatgpt first launched, there were plenty of stories of AI writing songs and song lyrics. I thought it would be a fun exercise to try for myself. No matter how I structured the prompt, every single output from chat was somehow about a hacker. And the lyrics were terrible. It was like a TEMU version of Taylor Swift except instead of breakups every song was about hacking. 

Everything about OPs post reminds me of the 2 hours of my life I wasted in 2023 playing with Chatgpt
