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.

Nah, google accounts are a recent thing, no way can that be a thing... Can it?
Oh hell I'm old...
My Gmail account is old enough to buy drinks in a bar in the US (21)
They'll be counting the wrinkies on my asshole.
When you log into YouTube, a patented recog device does read your anus to confirm your identity. Its CCDs convert light into text-based codes, which represent your unique fingerprint of anal terrain.
And y'all made fun of me for putting sunscreen on my asshole!
I assume they already did this for advertising purposes, just like every other platform trying to guess your demographics to sell you more useless shit.
And that's not just a win for companies. The fact that my metadata is out there is great for me as a user. Like with targeted ads -- I get tons of coupons from cool restaurants.
Start peppering your responses with archaic terms and slang.... Confuse the hell out of them
How long before a certain orange moron starts complaining that it keeps thinking he's 13 for some reason?

YouTube popup: What is Tik Tok?
User: A song by Kesha.
YouTube: Alright, let ‘em through.
False, that song is clearly by Ke*$*ha
Pfft, everyone knows it the Ukrainian entry in Moscow Eurovision (the one with the hamster wheel).
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.
Same same but different here. This algorithm was meant to know my wants better than me but all I get is ads for credit cards, adult diapers & hoodies.
Spruce things up a bit. Talk in front front of your phone and say how much you always wanted a pet zebra or you want an auto car wash for your house. Stuff like that.
The have been thoroughly unable to guess my age for the last 18 years.
What if you just play a bunch of home repair videos on the background? 🤔
I'm betting that it's so "intelligent" that will guess underage even if the Google account was opened in 2004
IIRC that is one parameter they actually mentioned taking into account.
I guess my 2006 or 2007 or whatever YouTube account (which, yes, I later connected with my Google account - not all that much later, in fact) will perhaps qualify me for adult-only content finally.
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 ?
It's going to be really hilarious if my account gets flagged by the AI.
I made it in 2004, it's old enough to drink.
The account is, but it doesn’t say anything about the person using it.
Youtube/Google is bowing down to a government that is funding some very negative actions towards children across the ocean. Why aren't they using this AI to solve this? /s
The day it starts I'm gonna upload a bunch of old videos in a playlist, looking to monetize
