Age detection was already very effective with Leisure Suit Larry 3 age questions. https://allowe.com/games/larry/tips-manuals/lsl3-age-quiz.ht...

I hope Anthropic or someone pulls an Apple and has the taste to say no to ads. Maybe it will just be Apple. (Even their resistance is slowly fading..) We don't need to jam ads into every orifice. I hope there's more value to be had not doing ads than there is to include them. I'd cancel my codex/chatgpt/claude if someone planted the flag. OpenAI seems to think it has infinite trust to burn.
You give too much credit to Apple in the AI age. Especially since they've already partnered with Google to power Siri with Gemini now. Apple is a has-been. Anthropic is best positioned to take up the privacy mantle, and may even be forced to, given that most of their revenue is enterprise and B2B.
I hope there's some layer between Apple and Gemini but only those at the helm can be trusted to make that happen and I don't trust them to choose users over the dollar.
Hard no. It's so easy to get "flagged" by opaque systems for "Age verification" processes or account lockouts that require giving far too much PII to a company like this for my liking. > Users who are incorrectly placed in the under-18 experience will always have a fast, simple way to confirm their age and restore their full access with a selfie through Persona, a secure identity-verification service. Yea, my linkedi…
I'm glad ChatGPT will get a taste of VC startup tech quality ;)

What a coincidence: "protect the children" narrative got amplified right about when implementing profiling became needed for openai profits. Pure magic
I get why you're questioning motives, I'm sure it's convenient for them at this time. But age verification is all over the place. Entire countries (see Australia) have either passed laws, or have laws moving through legislative bodies. Many platforms have voluntarily complied. I expect by 2030, there won't be a place on Earth where not just age verification, but identity is required to access online platforms. If it…
What?
Everyone's saying this is for advertising, but I don't think it is. It's so they can let ChatGPT sext with adults.
Agreed, see https://www.reuters.com/business/openai-allow-mature-content...

I imagine they're building this system with the goal of extracting user demographics (age, sex, income) from chat conversations to improve advertising monetization. This seems to be a side project of their goal and a good way to calibrate the future ad system predictions.

Chatgpt has ads now?

Exactly, all under the guise of "protect the children" - a tried and true surveillance and control trope.
For context though, people have been screaming lately at OpenAI and other AI companies about not doing enough to protect the children. Almost like there is no winning, and one should just make everything 18+ to actually make people happy.
