Does regulators really care about a predicted age? I feel like they require hard proof of being above age to show explicit content. The only ones that care about predicted age is advertisers.
It's not much for the regulators as much as its for the advertisers.
At this point, just use gemini (yes its google and has its issues if you need SOTA) or I have recently been trying out more and more chat.z.ai for simple text issues (like hey can you fix this docker issue etc.) and I feel like chat.z.ai is pretty good plus open source models (honestly chat.z.ai feels pretty SOTA to me)
Kagi's Assistant is the most useful tool I've found as far as searching goes, and occasionally simple codegen. Let's you use a wide variety of models and isn't tracking me.
In the UK, age verification just has to be "robust" (not further specified). Face scanning, for example, is explicitly designated as an allowed heuristic.
Any proof that you are above a certain age will also expose you identity.
That is the only reason regulators care about children safety online, because they care about ID.
LLMs are very good at profiling users in hacker news and finding alt accounts, for example. profiling is the best use case for llms.
So there you go, maybe it wont give exactly what regulators say they want, but it will give exactly what they truly want.
