How does the age inference model work?

We leverage an advanced machine learning model developed at Discord to predict whether a user falls into a particular age group based on patterns of user behavior and several other signals associated with their account on Discord. We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model.

Completely opaque explanation of how they use AI to guess your age with a claim that message content is not used. With no independent way to actually verify that claim, I don't trust them at all.

Which is also probably why they want users to submit id's, they want a population of proven age groups to train their data on further. I imagine the system right now does not have a high confidence level at all
