GPT-5 streaming requires submission of biometric data
7 comments
Are you sure it is only for streaming?
No GPT5 for me then. Can you imagine if companies started mandating employees get fingerprinted just to use ChatGPT, whose use is also mandated? No, thanks.
Yes. I found this out because I have a small tool I maintain for OpenAI API integration - and my integration test suite triggered this for the streaming case. The non-streaming cases didn't trigger the requirement.
FWIW I am definitely not opting in to this overreach and will use a different provider if necessary. I currently use GPT-4o for some streaming apps I have, but will migrate away from this requirement.

There's some other bits like the image endpoint as well.
My impression is that they have been activating this for endpoints that expose more risk for misuse. They are trying to keep bad actors off. Streaming likely is protected because response classification often lags behind the stream.
Looks like the data grabbers found themselves a means to extort the juiciest bits from their victims. I'm sure the majority have “nothing to hide”.
