Repeatability and/or an actual negative effect.
POC generally means “you can demonstrate unintentional behavior”.
“Exploit” means you can gain access or do something malicious.
It’s a fine line. Author’s point is that the LLM was able to demonstrate some malfeasance, not just unintended consequence. That’s a big deal considering that actual malicious intent generally requires more knowhow than raw POC.
