    The highly sophisticated and clever AI has already brilliantly identified several underaged people who have youtube or associated gmail accounts that are older than the minimum age.

    Accounts used by multiple people enter the room.

    By kids often use my account on our shared family TV. We have adults in 30s/40s, early teens, and toddlers all using YouTube for different things.

    This is a stupid idea.

    How long before a certain orange moron starts complaining that it keeps thinking he’s 13 for some reason?

    I am almost 70 and my wife and have a great time confusing the AI targeted ads. I get tampon ads she gets men’s diaper ads. We never know what we are going to get since we are always feeding misinformation into our phones.

    I watch plenty of penguinz0, This Old House, Smosh, and lawn care videos. Can’t wait to find out what YouTube makes of that.

    The system relies on signals such as the types of videos a user searches for and watches, and how long their account has been active, to determine whether they are under the age of 18.

    That’s not actually AI is it ?

    I’m betting that it’s so “intelligent” that will guess underage even if the Google account was opened in 2004

    They already do this. There was a way to check and there may still be. When I checked like 10 years ago it was wrong about everything. Age, hobbies, everything

    So good luck yt I guess

    Is this why Google sent me an email saying they changed my settings and I can scan in my ID if I want to change them back?
