    Wait, let's back this train up a hair. So humans can't even look at another human and tell if they're over or under 18 necessarily. Like it's hard to tell a 19 year old from a 17 year old. And they expect a computer to do better?! Not gonna happen even if all asians look alike so the AI coding is 100x simpler lol. Plus, they obviously didn't consider faking it that way. Totally idiotic if you ask me.
