My university uses prompt injection to catch cheaters Sunday, April 5, 2026 #til The first-year computer science course I’m taking at university has hidden instructions in font-size 0 text to catch people blindly pasting the instructions into LLMs. I wonder how well this works. (My floormate found this after pasting the instructions into a comment in his IDE. Supposedly.)
