Discord’s New Age Verification uses AI and Your Face!

not another AI thing...

Discord is working on a new age verification system that requires users to take a "video selfie". Now will some human being look at your ugly face and determine if you are old enough to use Discord? Nope! Instead it's a random AI from some company I haven't heard of before.

Is this new age verification system a good idea? Or is Discord just getting in on the AI hype again...
