I don’t think it’s dead Internet theory. But this is more dystopian in that private corporations are censoring our speech and searching based on their own criteria.
I find csam repulsive, but having a corporation or ai restrict unrelated content because their system construes an innocent search as potential bad is almost worst.
Lady does sound like an older woman. Gal, woman or chick would probably work, but that’s all besides the point, it’s very common to use girl as a search term: biker girl, skater girl, ring girl, bikini girl, racer girl, etc. It’s just dumb to automatically assume any search with “girl” means “child”.
Maybe because I’m older idk, but boy and girl make me think of children.
I’m so old that I don’t sprinkle my comments with kid-pidgin like ‘idk’, and I don’t equate ‘girl’ with ‘young girl’. Bat Girl, Girl Friday, Ring Girl, “I married a girl right out of college”; it’s about context.
Idk, I’m 31 and my girlfriend is 27. I don’t call her my woman friend or lady friend, and calling her my girlfriend doesn’t really make her sound underage to me
Especially since “woman friend” and “lady friend” specifically mean “friend who is a female, no romantic entanglement” or “I’m specifically NOT using the word girlfriend here.”
Which does expose kind of a scar on the language; the terms we have for unmarried romantic partners are inherently juvenile, which puts 50 year olds who are dating in the awkward position of calling each other boy and/or girl. Or you get to spit out all ten chapters of the phrase “significant other.”

They could have just typed lady tbf
The word motorcycle rather implies an age range doesn’t it?
16 in my country. So not necessarily.

It’s more a problem because people don’t really do it for men.
Ok, boomer.
Lol what a lame comeback. Gtfo of here you pedo. Girl does not mean child automatically. Context is everything.

Easy solution:
“Hi, have you met Elaine? We fuck.”
Sexy motorcycle grandma.
Never had to design something for the public? Can’t expect everyone to use the exact right terminology.
I doubt searching for softcore pornography was a high priority when building these filters.
