The Google AI itself just informed me that Google can ask me for ID if it suspects that I may be under 18. Does anyone know if this has already happened to someone? I have important accounts that I need my gmail to log into. What email provider do you recommend that I use instead? I'm aware of tuta and protonmail but are they reliable that they will not one day shut down the way Skiff email did?

I cannot understand how someone can talk about possible recent news as "Google AI" or "ChatGPT" "told me". Any imagination where the AI model gets the information from? It scrapes the websites and does wohoo math. It's not that it autonomously tapped some Google employee microphone and now it knows.
