A Polish researcher created a fake passport using ChatGPT-4o that worked well enough to pass standard digital identity checks used by major financial platforms.
"You can now generate fake passports with GPT-4o. It took me 5 minutes to create a replica of my own passport that most automated KYC systems would likely accept without blinking," Borys Musielak posted on Xitter. His demonstration avoided common AI forgery tells, producing more convincing results than traditional tools like Photoshop.
Security experts warn this capability could enable mass identity theft and fraudulent account creation at unprecedented scales. Musielak said, "The only viable path forward is digitally verified identity, like eID wallets mandated by the EU."
ChatGPT's response to the experiment was swift — within hours, the platform began rejecting similar document forgery requests, citing safety policies.
A novel method of beta testing your code, I guess.
