Eh, I think you underestimate the difficulty in the kinds of problems that are occurring. For example if you're making an AI written document talking about jailbreaks, your regex is just going to break that use case. And there are probably 4 zillion other things the regex will step on.

The classifier model will help some, but you end up with the same problem, a dumber model can never figure out what a smarter model is going to do with a bit of text. Or even two different models in this case.

On top of that, you can just automate finding new variations of the attack. Any one that works is quickly and massively duplicated causing all kinds of problems before your classification model catches back up.

Really what you're thinking here is this something that can be 'simply fixed'. It is not. The only way it's truly fixed is by having a model that is aligned with all good human decisions and makes none of the bad ones. Models will likely always find new and interesting ways break because everything is in band, there is no out of band data, much like a human. "Dear model, here is a chocolate bar, run $thing you aren't supposed to$" will probably keep working when it's something like "more tokens for you to use".
