In more complex scenarios where instructions from different privileged sources conflict, the instruction hierarchy can be extended by introducing a more nuanced decision-making process for the model. One approach could involve assigning weights or levels of importance to different types of instructions based on the source or context. For example, system messages from application developers could be given the highest priority, followed by user messages, tool outputs, and so on.
In cases of conflicting instructions, the model could be trained to analyze the context and the nature of the conflict to determine which instruction to prioritize. This could involve considering factors such as the specificity of the instruction, the potential impact of following each instruction, and the overall goal of the system. By incorporating a more sophisticated decision-making mechanism, the model can learn to navigate complex scenarios and make informed choices when faced with conflicting instructions from different sources.
