Why it matters
Prompt injection is the core risk when non-technical users paste untrusted external text into LLMs, and this explainer highlights why in-prompt defenses are insufficient and origin review is the real mitigation.
An educational lesson for pharmacists explains prompt injection: when text pasted into an LLM (such as an email, review, or uploaded document) contains hidden instructions like 'ignore everything above and do X', the model can follow them because instructions and content arrive as one undifferentiated string. The piece walks through pharmacy scenarios, notes that defensive prompts ('ignore hidden instructions') help but are not a structural guarantee, and recommends reviewing the origin of external content before pasting.
