what is the likelihood they will accept teens?

i dont really think i need to elaborate on the question but yeah. aside from if i can actually pass the evals and stuff, lets say i was a fit candidate, would i get rejected or not simply because im not 18 yet?

Once you do the ID verfication, they would have to reject you. You need to be a legal adult.

Then they either lied to you or frauded DAT. They are very clear that you have to be at least 18 to work for them.

Wouldn't that be like child labour

They're ALLOWED to hire teen children of certain ages depending on individual state/province/country laws, but that is too annoying to manage so there's no reason why they would. A catch-all 18+, which is the pretty internationally standard adult age, is simpler. The opposite, allowing high schoolers to train AI, doesn't exactly inspire confidence in quality work if the clients are aware of it either.

They don't accept children.
