mrtksn: There were rumors about OpenAI preparing for sign in with OpenAI to let users use their OpenAI allowances with apps, si this is basically it. The question is, how long before OpenAI bans this or makes it official.
EvanZhouDev: Worth mentioning this post: https://x.com/opencode/status/2009805930377167233In which OpenCode "collaborates" with OpenAI to support login with ChatGPT Pro/Plus (through this exact method!)Not exactly proof that this method is "OpenAI allowed" but it's a good sign at least.
skeptrune: i tend to think openai will just make this official rather than ban it based on their historical stance here
EvanZhouDev: I find it hard to believe they'll make it official completely, as that's basically giving away free API credits. If they really wanted the benefits of having free API credits they would just do that directly (but I doubt they'd do that in their current situation).
skeptrune: they'll probably just more accurately tie the api credit usage into your pro plan or whatnot so it's more clear what's going on. i just don't expect them to fully ban using the recurring consumer sub for api use
trevwilson: This occurred in response to Anthropic cracking down on a similar loophole, which tbh made me take it as more of an opportunistic marketing opportunity rather than a generalizable position.Not disagreeing with you (and based on your other comments you're probably aware of this info) - just adding context on why this is a pretty interesting gray area and I'm similarly curious whether OpenAI will explicitly allow, disallow, or maintain ambiguity towards it.
