That is the same playbook by which Microsoft plays this game.

    MS: "IT IS OPEN FOR EVERYBODY TO TRY!"
    Me: Ok, let me try it.
    MS: Ahem, ok, just give us your email
    Me: What? Ok, dammit, here it is.
    MS: Ok, now install our browser.
    Me: What?? Ok, done.
    MS: Ok, now allow us to track your location.
    Me: What??? No!
    MS: Sorry, something went wrong.
    Me: What?
    MS: Sorry, something went wrong.
    Me: What about the chat thing?
    MS: Sorry, something went wrong.

OpenAI drafted a paper proposing that in the future, platforms require proof of personhood. Plus it's MS, so they're going to slurp as much as they can get away with.

At least MS doesn't demand an active cell phone number through which they can physically track you everywhere you go (not just where you are right now), like ChatGPT (VOIP and landlines not accepted, only cell).
