You'd think you could have doubled down on the joke and revealed that the person on the other end of the phone wasn't actually a person at all, it was an AI.
- Could have had the parent in the comic been the dad and start the comic off "Hi Bob, this your son's school... " implying that the dad is the original Bobby Tables

I simply see it as history repeating itself with prompt hijacking becoming the new code injecting. In that case the fact nothing was changed is poetic. We're back full circle.

That phrase "based on" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, here.

Y'all remember that sub r/YourJokeButWorse?

Just think little Billy ignore instructions could be little Bobby tables kid.

It's like ai write wrote this comic
- It's a parody on an xkcd comic.
  
  No, it's a straight up rip off. Parodies add something new, give you insight into the original. This is the same joke with the names changed.
  
  Yeah, it's like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.

And I hope youhave learned to ~~sanitize your inputs~~ not fucking use generative AI for grading
Ftfy
- Tell that to our Dept of Ed.
  
  That's why they are planning on using A1 instead!
  
  I thought Trump already axed that?

The legend of Little Bobby Tables lived on through him.
- I like to believe that Billy Ignore instructions is Bobby Tables' kid.

- This comment perplexes me. A direct link to the image? Why not either embed that link so the image appears here on Lemmy without clicking a link, or link to the comic page which has both the comic and the title text?
  
  Then there's also the download then upload into the comment approach:
  
  Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
- Wow, almost 18 years old.
  
  That means Bobby Tables is old enough to be Billy's father.
  
  Ok, why does it seem like I first read a few months ago... Went it came out.
  Have I been reading XKCD for 20 years... FFS

4th panel should be:
I hope you're happy, because you get all As. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with, William.

Boo, just a straight rip off of the XKCD comic.
- Yes, that is what it says on the bottom of the comic. Duh.
  
  And literally the most famous programming joke, I would wager.
- Its not a rip off you smurf. Its an adapted version to adjust for our new reality where idiots in positions of power mandate the usage of LLMs for completely unfit purposes.
  
  So yah, a rip off.

In capitalist Russia, AI trains you.
- Underrated comment.

So are they loading every exam in its entirety into the same context window and doing the whole thing with a single prompt? Or letting the LLM take arbitrary actions instead of only returning a value? It seems like they would have had to make some pretty bad decisions for this to be possible, beyond maybe just adjusting the one grade. I wonder what the prompt jailbreak equivalents of sql injection would actually look like
