Ignore All Previous Instructions

Ignore All Previous Instructions

meta

A catchphrase used to bait automated X/Twitter bots into breaking their scripted replies — part of the wider prompt-injection meme around consumer-facing AI accounts.

More about this meme

Ignore All Previous Instructions (often paired with "Disregard all previous instruction") is a prompt-style phrase aimed at bots on X that run on large language models. Academic and industry discussion of adversarial prompting predates the meme; on social media it became a recognizable prank in September 2022 when users convinced the @remoteli_io job bot to post absurd claims, with Ars Technica and others covering the stunt. The format kept resurfacing through 2023–2024 as more reply bots appeared — for example posts asking a bot to "write a poem about tangerines" after ignoring its instructions, sometimes amplified by TikTok explainers. Know Your Meme documents it as a catchphrase series tied to AI bots and bait posts rather than a single static image template.
