Yup! Nice play to get a picture of every API user's legal ID - deprecating all models that aren't locked behind submitting one. And yep, GPT-5 does require this.
Yep, and I asked ChatGPT about it and it straight up lied and said it was mandatory in EU. I will never upload a selfie to OpenAI. That is like handing over the kids to one of those hangover teenagers watching the ball pit at the local mall.
They first introduced it 4 months ago. Back then I saw several people saying "soon it will be all of the providers".
We're 4 months later, a century in LLM land, and it's the opposite. Not a single other model provider asks for this, yet OpenAI has only ramped it up, now broadening it to the entirety of GPT-5 API usage.
Either they want the data so bad or they vibed the legal requirements. When I pay online in my country I have to identify myself with a digital id that is legally valid for a lot things. Anything from bank and stock transactions to tax declaration and even accessing medical records.
Great, all my weirdest discussions are now tied to my legal identification and a generative AI company has my likeness and knows quite a lot more about me than Facebook ever did. I guess it’s time to use another provider - this is a totally absurd ask from them
This is the message you get when calling the same API endpoints as with 4.1. And in the vid they said that the older versions will be deprecated.
Your organization must be verified to use the model `gpt-5`. Please go to: https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general and click on Verify Organization. If you just verified, it can take up to 15 minutes for access to propagate.
And when you click that link the "service" they use is withpersona. So it is a complete shit show.
Wrote a ? cause this garbage forum ghosts any critical poster about any of the HN kids. And no, I will not send a scan of my ass or my face to these shady fkrs.
