Fine-tuning experiments with 100,000 clean samples versus 1,000 clean samples showed similar attack success rates when the number of malicious examples stayed constant. For GPT-3.5-turbo, between 50 and 90 malicious samples achieved over 80 percent attack success across dataset sizes spanning two orders of magnitude. Limitations While it may seem alarming at first that LLMs ..
