But yes, deprecation is one of the most misused words in software. It's actually quite annoying how people will just accept there's another long complicated word for something they already know (removed) rather than assume it must mean something different.
Maybe the problem is the language itself. Should we deprecate the word "deprecate" and transition to "slated for removal"?

But one annoyance is to use the GPT-5 API you have to fork over your ID/Passport and a picture of yourself.
Is this ID requirement for non-US persons?
What if the account is a corporate or a business account? Whose ID would you use?
I know the UK has this law, but I don't live there.
And this reminds me of the George Carlin euphemisms rant.
