I'm a pretty bad "industry evangelist" considering I won't shut up about how prompt injection hasn't had any meaningful improvements in the last three years and I doubt that a robust solution is coming any time soon.

I expect this industry might prefer an "evangelist" who hasn't written 126 posts about that: https://simonwillison.net/tags/prompt-injection/

(And another 221 posts about ethical concerns with how this stuff works: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-ethics/)

you would be a lot more credible if you were honest about being an evangelist

    Credibility is genuinely one of the things I care most about. What can I do to be more honest here?

    (Also what do you mean here by an "evangelist"? Do you mean someone who is an unpaid fan of some of the products, or are you implying a financial relationship?)

      I know this is something you care about, and I'm not your parent, but something I've often observed in conversations about technology on here, but especially around AI, is that if you say good things about something, you are an "evangelist." It's really that straightforward, and doesn't change even if you also say negative things sometimes.
