Re: YouTube will identify and restrict minors’ accounts with AI

The Root Aka Rootbrian

This is concerning since those on the autism spectrum who love, adore,  enjoy watching (even when retreating to a safe space!) cartoons/animations/anime (also for stimulation which is a part of self-regulation) could easily be falsely marked as being a minor, regardless of their age.  I don't even think google is considering the problems this will be creating when relying exclusively on AI to make decisions HUMANS should be making. This shit will begin on august 13th. I'm not too happy about it either.  Link to article: https://www.theverge.com/news/715343/youtube-age-estimation-ai-minor-account-restrictions

00:00Oh, hello, internet. This is Sarut. I could see where this could totally go wrong. Very, very wrong.

00:10If you know what I mean, it could be very bad for people on the autism spectrum,

00:19some of them, pretty much like watching cartoons. Same with the adults that aren't autistic that love

00:25watching cartoons. Because who doesn't want to watch cartoons? They're funny. They're entertaining.

00:35And you can bring, you can jump right back to what you enjoyed when you were younger.

00:40And potentially, you didn't get a chance to watch when you were younger or, or that your

00:46parents wouldn't let you watch. But then again, and sometimes people didn't even have television

00:53or, you know, their lifestyle did not allow them to have it. Well, you can literally sit

01:00back and watch these cartoons again and again, even kids shows. I've partaken and watched a

01:05few of them myself. They're really funny as hell. I love them when I'm bored anyway. But

01:11this could be detrimental to those on the autism spectrum that pretty much like cartoons, that

01:18enjoyed them. They use them for self-regulation, you know, stimulation. This could be a problem.

01:25AI could potentially fuck their accounts up and make them literally restricted and market

01:32as kids. When they're not kids. They're fucking adults. But they're autistic. But still, they should

01:42not be treated like kids. This fucking AI shit, it's going to wreak havoc. A lot of fucking

01:47havoc. That's what it's going to do. Anyways, I just thought I'd bring that up. And yes, the

01:59title with re-attached to it, it's the title of the article, if you do so wish to read it.

02:07And yes, this shit takes effect on August 13th, which is not far from now. But I just thought

02:17I'd mention that. It's disgraceful what they're going to use AI for. And yes, it could be screwed

02:23up. And I don't even think they're even going to verify that it's actually going to work.

02:30Sure, they could do a little better test. But that better test is just not going to work

02:35properly. Exactly. It's going to be the exact opposite of what they're actually going to use

02:40it for. You can never fully trust AI. It tends to fuck shit up. People have used it to predict

02:49weather. And look what it does. It's very inaccurate. Think of what it can do to people's

02:57accounts. It can literally falsely represent them as kids. But then they got to verify again.

03:02But what if the verification doesn't fucking work? What if it doesn't work? If it still

03:09kept the mark as a child when they're not? This herein highlights the problem of it. And

03:18that's why most are actually talking negative about this shit. Because that's exactly what

03:22it is. Anyways, that's how to bring it up. Thank you for watching.
