It objectively did, but that is beside the point. If they're getting some of the lost customers back by adding "gemeni overview" then they they're justified. There's no point in cooking michelin star level food if your customers mostly go to KFC.

Why defend them when they’ve shown nothing but contempt for their customers?

Because I don't want to let hate blind me to a reasonable opinion.

Gimp. You're a much better person than me. I always found the gimp learning curve way too steep for me

~I want to let people deal with the consequences of their stupidity on their own.~

Those consequences affect a much much wider range of people, not just those who are stupid about it so it's not about protecting them, it is about protecting everyone including the ones who can't protect themselves.

Who is "you"? How can the general public get organized?

This is a shitty issue to raise and yet it isn't made out of literal shit

OP is responding to your original question. If you're asking if it safe to do it, then you are worried about the consequences of doing it and wonder if you should stop. That would mean that you are "obeying a rule before it exists".

As to your current comment, you should understand that current "AI" solutions do not think anything. If the current solutions were used for mass surveillance, then they would be used to classify your actions in some predefined way and whomever is using them will use this classification in some (possibly nefarious) unknown way

I think there's an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that's only as long as they perform correctly.

The neat part is that we can't even claim that they're little mistakes or that there's few of them.

That's such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that

It already exists, lots of institutions people work with know way more than just their age. They could really provide an anonymous way of validating someone's age without divulging their identity. This can also be done in such a way that the verification provider doesn't know the requester either so they don't have a way of tracking user habits
