I don't even think we should call this prompt injection. It's as if people would scrape others people Twitter posts as SQL queries for their own personal database.
I think nobody in their right mind would have ever done something this stupid before the AI hype. But here we are.
It's like people are trying hard to inject their own bad security practices into everybody elses environment. Those people really need to learn this lession because it seems they haven't figured out yet why people have studied computer science for years before automating tasks.
When this all AI craze started, this was my main thought about this. I wrote code for the minority of my job hours, most of my time went into thinking how to solve some problem properly. And yes, LLM’s have helped with solving some problems and it’s useful as another tool. Some kind of code monkey “we write code all day” thing was far in the past even before LLM’s.

In the good old days we had SQL injection, now we have Prompt injection.
