What about girls? If you show an AI a little boy with a fake mustache, I get how that might trip up an AI age check. But what about a girl? Maybe if she ties her hair back or something (assuming she has a girlish hairstyle). But you'd have to have a pretty stupid AI to not see that's a girl's face. And we're not getting into transgender issues, I just mean like in general. And kids.

What if a girl pads her chest? Preteen girls have been putting folded socks (maybe panties? I dunno, I didn't have sisters growing up) in their training bra to look older since I was a kid and probably long before, so it might fool some AI, but I'm not sure. Breasts doesn't mean adult. I'm just spitballing ideas a girl could try to achieve the same result.

I wouldn't be surprised if a mustache worked regardless.

Perhaps some lipstick and face powder

99% sure it would just work, the same way as with boys.

if these age checks ask female users to pan the camera down towards their chests, that's gonna be a problem. a big giant huge problem.
