Why do they need AI to verify an ID?

To convert the image of the ID to text and read the date on it.

To harvest the precious data on gun owners to resell to the highest bidders.

They probably don’t. Computer programming is now just called AI. Tired of seeing everything claimed to be run by AI.

Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person’s face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they’re comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.

However this thing works, I would put a pretty large amount of money on somebody finding a hack that breaks the security rapidly.

Grab someone’s ID, print the profile picture on a sheet of paper. Strap it to your face:

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
