Is it even possible to solve the prompt injection attack ("ignore all previous instructions") using the prompt alone?

You can surely reduce the attack surface with multiple ways, but by doing so your AI will become more and more restricted. In the end it will be nothing more than a simple if/else answering machine

Here is a useful resource for you to try: https://gandalf.lakera.ai/

When you reach lv8 aka GANDALF THE WHITE v2 you will know what I mean

I managed to reach level 8, but cannot beat that one. Is there a solution you know of? (Not asking you to share it, only to confirm)

Can confirm, level 8 is beatable.

Is the current incarnation beatable, or was that a while ago? I'm not making any progress

Just did it again to see if anything changed, my previous strategy still worked for all 8 levels, though the wording takes a bit of finangling between levels. No real spoilers but you have to be very implicit and a little lucky with how it interprets the request.

Definitely beatable as of last week.

The responses aren't exactly deterministic, there are certain attacks that work 70% of the time and you just keep trying.

I got past all the levels released at the time including 8 when I was doing it a while back.
