Well, this might be an unpopular option, but grok’s image generation is powerful, yet really lax when it comes to restrictions. If you don’t wanna use it to generate an ID, fair. Just saying this is an option too you can try.

I was able to bypass discord’s age verification thingy with Garry’s Mod. I kid you not.
Another one of my friends bypassed Google’s age verification with fucking Red Dead Redemption 2 of all things.

Wasn’t there a massive data leak recently where millions of scans of drivers’ licenses appeared on the dark web including Pete Hesgeth’s? My first order of preference would be to grab that and use it, or some other suitably deplorable regime member. Don’t use one of anyone actually innocent.
Plan B would be to ask one of the slop generators to invent a face to slap on a fake ID and upload that. Fight fire with fire. If motherfuckers want to inflict this dumb shit on us, we’ll hand 'em dumb shit right back. In fact, that’s basically the only valid use case for AI slop I’m willing to support.
If it’s a state- or country-level requirement, one solution is a VPN to connect from a different region.
If it’s global, ie everybody has to age verify, then I’ll probably be buying stolen IDs and using those–and I’m over 18, it’s just nobody’s business who I am exactly.

If it requires ID globally then I’m not using it. I’m not going to implicate some poor sod who had their identity stolen while giving the people who did it money. If I really had to use it I guess I’d use a fake I’d generator

That may one day be the entire internet, but when everything is forbidden, everything is allowed.

Depends on the circumstances but generally, you’d just use a VPN to connect from a location that does not require them to use it. If the site uses it regardless, you’re kinda screwed if they didn’t provide any alternate login method.
You could resort to scrapes/archives of the site or using a fake ID, but IMO, if a site makes it that much of a pain in the ass to use, it’s not worth my time anymore. If every site starts doing this, I guess I’ll just start reading more books instead of articles and websites.
