dont know man, i go to tik tok

if all social media turn into trash, it just mean i will stay only with video game, movie and anime

Having an account, or even allowing it to set cookies, is already pitiful, abject submission.

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

As a grown-ass adult, it's dumb and I hope YouTube doesn't assume the wrong thing. Then again, I made sure to watch enough gory game footage and beer videos, maybe also a violent b-movie or two to be absolute sure.

i think google can suck my toe

I only view this as a power grab disguised as "for the kids"
If I get flagged then I will view it as malicious and not come back

Kinda funny if AI judges you a child.

Its going to annoy basically everyone except the sheep.
I'll just take my "entertain me now" for free elsewhere.

How do you feel about the AI YouTube’s rolling out in the U.S.?

It’ll scan your watch history, post history and other online data that it has collected about you, then determine if you’re a child or not.

If it does believe you’re a child, your account will be restricted until you verify your age to YouTube directly by sending them your government ID, a face scan or a credit card.

It begins sometime this week, if it hasn’t already.

What’re your thoughts on it? How will you react if you get improperly flagged as underage? Will you send YouTube an age verification?

It will cause a rise in YouTube burner accounts. Or people browsing while logged out.

If I get restricted despite my watch history then it'll just be a great way to detox from YouTube.

Not like they couldn't just cash in their brownie points to Google and get people's info that way.

*shrugs*

It's your country.
Enjoy.

It'll be interesting to see just how jank their detection algorithm is and how many false flaggings happen. I'm gonna guess that there will be a lot of random flaggings at first just so they can collect as much data as possible.

Everytime they make a horrible change they try and out do themselves again.

How could it possibly ascertain if the user is really a child or not?

If an Avatar the Last Airbender clip pops up in my feed and I watch it because it was a great animated show... will it flag me as underage?

I used to work with a crazy leftist nutjob who was FULLY into pokemon (to the point of having pokemon tattoos and pokemon stickers all over his car) will he be flagged as underage if he watches pokemon clips? He's in his early 30's...

There are children with bad parents who are allowed to watch crime dramas made for adults. If they watch clips from their favorite crime drama show, will they be flagged as an adult?

AI is not the be all end all tool of omnipresent perfection like they make it out to be.

The various AI chat bots are wrong quite often.

This seems like nothing more than an excuse for google to collect more of our information.
