Subscribing to an AI Pro plan instantly triggers a government-ID KYC check

lxfater shared an amusing subscription experience: after carefully paying $20/month for an AI Pro plan with his Bank of America account, a "Quick identity check" instantly popped up demanding a government-issued photo ID and mobile camera access via a third-party verification partner. He had been worrying about paying safely and refunds in case of a ban — only to hit KYC the moment he subscribed.
