Sorry, but the pure-black eyes, bright blue skin with red patterns gave me a visceral response. In his own words, people are afraid to sit next to him on the bus, so I'm hardly the only person who had such a reaction to his appearance. This is more than just "facial tattoos" or body mods, this is quite literally an extreme case.
I believe anyone should be able to alter their appearance in any way they want, but if you choose to ink your skin to be more blue than skin-tone (linked articles have pictures without the Instagram filter that make the blue-ness much more clear, like https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/article34897342.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_VIDEO-Im-Britains-most-tattooed-man-I-cant-take-the-bus-without-having-a-heated-argument-with.jpg https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/article34897342.ece/ALTERNATES/...), you should not be surprised when people and people-made programs think you're wearing a costume. This isn't just an AI program, according to the articles about him, he's had the same issues with real people at airports.
The core of the problem still remains the same; AI is not capable of reliably recognising people (kids used video game characters to bypass age verification), let alone determine their age reliably, and I believe most of the OSA should be abolished.
