Including end-user IDs

You are developing a content moderation tool for a social media company that uses the OpenAI API to assess their content. To ensure the safety and compliance of the tool, you need to incorporate user identification in your API requests, so that investigations can be performed in case malicious content is found.

The uuid library has been preloaded. A message has also been preloaded containing text from a social media post.
