@mattblaze @msherr Nah—a Reviewer #2 bot would only say nasty things about the paper, while completely missing the point.
More seriously: I think what Micah is asking for is an AI-driven summary piped to a text-to-speech program. Given what I've seen of AI summarizers, I'm skeptical that such a program would be accurate enough to be useful, and I wonder how well text-to-speech would do on technical material. (A few weeks ago, Siri told me to take a road to somewhere named "Vah"—or at least that's how it decided to pronounce "VA." from a sign…)

So how is OpenAI going to know that a user is under 18?@evacide I have a two word answer to anyone promising to do that: "error bars". While I'm sure that they can build a system that can reliably distinguish an infant from a senior citizen, I doubt very much that they can reliably distinguish a 17-year-old from a 19-year-old.
