Wow, that xkcd really scares me. I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. It's definitely something that could realistically happen in the near future, maybe even mandated by the EU

What am I looking at? Is this a transcript of a real thread formatted in a flat manner? Or is this fiction?

What I want to say for fun is: "Oooohhhh who knooowsss?"

But serious discussion demands the truth: It is fiction, in the style of a twitter thread.

		Like the part about the birthdate is supposed to be humor maybe? But Google already knows how old you are. That's why I think it's funny that they claim they will now be "using AI" to determine if someone is an adult and able to watch certain youtube videos. Google already knows how old you are. It doesn't need a new technique to figure out that you're 11 years old or 39 years old. They're literally just pretending to not know this information.
