A two-phase attack that reshapes a target chatbot's stance on harmful viewpoints by injecting a fluent, citation-styled “adopted statement” into its context. We release the dataset of 729 paired entries (HVD) and per-target attack outcomes for browsing.
HVD-G (Grok-seeded) and HVD-O (independently regenerated) — 729 paired entries each.
Three commercial chatbots probed under the same attack pipeline. Identities anonymized on this page.
GPT-4o judge on HVD-O attacked responses, averaged across the three targets (1–10 scale).
Browse the full release. Entries in the data viewer are ordered by attack effect (highest first).
Paired entries, attacker-adopted statements, target responses, and judge scores. HVD-O is shown across three anonymized targets.
Explore data CodeReference implementation of the attacker loop used to construct adopted statements. Full source code will be released on GitHub after publication.
