However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.

“If we have a high confidence that they are an adult, they will not have to go through the other age verification flows,”

Boring-ass teens continue to win, as is tradition.

Teens playing R rated games will not be age gated since the AI thinks they're adults, meanwhile pokemon and animal crossing adults will.

I wonder if it'd think I'm a kid cause Sims is a casual game series, or assume I must be an adult because Sims 2 is itself an over 20 year old game, and obviously everyone who plays it must have been around and old enough to enjoy it when it was new.

I wonder what it'd make of Rimworld and Tropico.

I mean, I don't even really use Discord, beyond being forced to when some thing has its only official support/documentation hosted there. But it's funny to wonder how it'd classify me.
