There are standardized ways to check age based on national IDs and a company worth billions in venture capital like OpenAI can certainly afford to implement them. Alternatively they could just not publish a batshit crazy language model just because they see an opportunity to juice their valuation and spend a bit more time and money developing it so that it is reasonably safe to use for minors.

So you're saying OpenAI should collect more personal data?

Or I supposed they could sell their models as packaged software, and the store clerk can check the ID.

The model of standalone packaged software has several benefits to consumers, and privacy is one of those.

OpenAI doesn't collect personal data, more than any other similar service, Midjourney comes to mind, but there are a lot more.

Reinforcement learning is the technique they use, and that means they are feeding the machine good text or image generations, produced by the machine. This means that the data are mushed together in the weights of billions and trillions of other data, and there is no way to get them back.
