They have "age predicted" my account a couple of months back saying I'm under 18, while I'm a man in my 40s who uses ChatGPT for mostly work related stuff, and nothing that would indicate that it's someone under 18. So now they are asking for a government ID to prove it. Yeah, no thanks.

What now?"]]>OpenAI uses AI to scan your ChatGPT conversations to determine your age. And even though I've been using ChatGPT for mostly work-related stuff, it has identified me, a man in my 40s, as under 18 and demanded government ID to prove my age. No thank you.

Idea is to improve and enhance your Costco warehouse shopping experience, mainly:

- Provide platform to enable shoppers to review and rate products and for others to find said reviews. Costco and Sameday doesn't provide reviews, so we try to fill the gap.

- Recently we started showing very special Costco warehouse deals in our app, there's a certain magic to Costco prices, e.g. if something ends in .97 it is extremely discounted but it's never advertised otherwise so we try to bring more of these special deals to our users.

- We have more features and want to bridge Costco communities together.

But... feel like, something is missing still?
