Spotify chatbot withstands 2023-era jailbreaks but happily writes song code
AaronBergman18 · x · 2026-09-11
A quick red-teaming session of Spotify's official chatbot found it robust to about two minutes of 2023-era jailbreak attempts — yet the author discovered a telling gap: you don't actually need to mention the song name for the bot to help you code something related. The guardrails appear keyed to literal keywords (song titles) rather than intent, a classic example of brittle literal-matching safety alignment. Useful observation for anyone designing or auditing AI customer-facing bots.
