Yeah, ran into this. I asked it to review a server I wrote for security vulnerabilities and it was "flagged" (after spending some money, of course). Kind of bizarre, there were so many ways a person could look at this and tell it was legit: the git log (look at my git config vs the author email and notice they're the same), the fact that none of this code is on the internet (private repo), the phrasing of my request, the fact that there's a long history of me collaborating with claude on building this, etc. I know someone's going to say: "the governments fault!" Yeah, to a point, but this wouldn't be an issue if these guys weren't relentlessly doom trolling or pretending like we're in a race with china. (What race exactly? To see who can enshittify the internet the fastest?) I wouldn't say I'm particularly upset about this, because before I tried it I had already read how other models have been able to find the same class of bugs, so I was using it more out of curiosity than need, but it does reinforce that these companies can take away these tools on a whim. Also, I just can't help but think that if your PR and marketing is literally making your software illegal to use, and causing people to hate you, maybe you're not doing it right.
