🧩 New “Bad Likert Judge” Technique Enhances LLM Jailbreak Success Rates. Researchers have introduced the “Bad Likert Judge” technique, which significantly increases the success rate of jailbreak attempts on large language models (LLMs) by over 60%. This method involves using an LLM to evaluate the harmfulness of generated responses on a Likert scale, allowing attackers to identify and refine the most harmful outputs. Testing across six state-of-the-art LLMs revealed that this technique can enhance attack effectiveness, particularly in categories like hate speech and malware generation. However, the study emphasizes the importance of robust content filtering to mitigate such vulnerabilities, as it can reduce attack success rates by an average of 89.2 percentage points.
