I've heard that for humans too, indecent proposals are more likely to penetrate protective constraints when couched in poetry, especially when accompanied with a guitar. I wonder if the guitar would also help jailbreak multimodal LLMs.

Yes! Maybe that's the whole point of poetry, to bypass defenses and speak "directly to the heart" (whatever said heart may be); and maybe LLMs work just like us.
