YouTube will begin guessing users’ ages using artificial intelligence on Wednesday, as part of an effort to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate content online.
This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard in my life.
In particular if I am online and neurotypical toxic people are thrown off by my ADHD, the VERY FIRST THING they do in their intellectual laziness is assume I am a kid.
The idea that this isn’t considered an explicit oppression of neurodivergent adults is laughable to me. These systems will police for neurodivergence, not age. The obvious response from the center will be “just don’t act like a kid then” and I would like to send a pre-emptive “go fuck yourself you are destroying everything” to those people.
I am autistic and have ADHD (inattentive, aka ADD), and when I was 13 people estimated my age in the mid 40s lmao
And yeah now I’m the opposite, feeling more free to just ramble and stuff, without spending tons upon tons of energy to keep my attention with the conversation. So will I spend 50% of my time making points completely irrelevant to the conversation? Yeah. But I’m happier for it :)

I am autistic and like 60% of my watchtime is Minecraft smp.
I no longer have an account to proof my age, i download subscriptions using yt-dlp
I hope all the advanced science videos i am downloading somehow balance it out.
chuckles i am in line to get oppressed.

If I were an AI guessing your age based on this comment… I would estimate your age to be somewhere in the 25-35 range.
If I were an AI guessing your age based on this comment… I would estimate your age to be somewhere in the 9-9000 range.
Good thing I’m a potato then. Good luck guessing my age!
You guys are taking my job again!
