> Why does anyone care about hiding their prompt? Is it just standard corporate paranoia?

Because the prompt is the specialized product (when it is a fairly simple wrapper around an available model.)

This is just sad. The idea of a "Prompt physician" for anyone or anything referring to the idea is such a 'idiocracy'-esque dystopian future.

It is a bit ridiculous. If you really believe that your “secret sauce” is the prompt you are using then you don’t have much of a business. So I would agree - it is partly just corporate paranoia. It would be nice if companies were just open with their prompts.

I say partly paranoia because if they didn’t make some attempt everyone would be jumping up and about how they managed to get it to say something “bad”. There’s a reason why we can’t have nice things…

Because if you know the exact prompt that makes it easier to work around it?

But work around it and get what?
