I still don't know whether you're supposed to hit those and I also don't know if it's normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.

Answer wrong. The more of us humans that answer wrong, the less accurate we need to be to get past these stupid things. If google want me to do work for them, they can pay me.

Whenever I get a capcha of anyone on a vehicle, I always make it a point to highlight the entirety of the driver too because I’m not going to just let Google train its self-driving vehicles to just ignore that every motorcycle has a rider on it.

The worst for me is the motorcycles one; half of the pictures are of motor scooters. Does it count those as motorcycles or is it counting on the user to know the difference because they’re not technically the same thing?

Same shit with bikes. Is the rider part of the bike or not?

This scenario pisses me off as I debate how pedantic to be.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

Guess I'm a robot.

Its worst when you clearly see small traffic lights far back in the same pucture

This is what "AI training" looks like, folks. The companies developing AI constantly tells us how awesome it is, but it still needs the help of humans to recognize basic sh*t like cars, buses, crosswalks and traffic lights. They didn't choose those images by accident.

I stress about the whole damn pole. If you showed me a picture of a traffic 🚦 on pole, and asked me what it was, I would say "a traffic light" not "a traffic loght and a traffic light pole"

Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

Funny enough, there's an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it's more reliable than solving them manually

It's funny that captchas are in a never ending arms race with bots trained on the same datasets capturing humans answering these stupid puzzles.

Pretty soon we're going to be drinking verification cans

I started half-assing these a long time ago because they never fail anyway.

The ones that get me are captchas saying select all squares with motorcycles when it is clearly a bicycle.

Yeah sometimes I'm like, well that's a moped, does it count as a motorcycle?

These are actually checking if you are a bot btw, so to pass them more quickly just don’t move like a bot would. Do shit a bot wouldnt do like clicking and unclicking something, swirl your cursor around the screen, etc.

Also answer these kind of wrong to fuck with AI

They must have increased the difficulty at one point cause I ain't kidding, I cannot solve them anymore. I swear to god I donit correctly but it never works.

They do that on purpose, as an AI/Bot wouldn't hesitate.

Sometimes I'll be stuck on a captcha because I'm answering too fast, so I'll wait a delay then hit the answer and suddenly it stops going in circles

Yeah, had to adapt my patterns so i don't get always flagged as bot.

Those fire hydrants will haunt me in nightmares

I just think to myself: What would a robot do?

What I hate so much more are the OpenAI captchas. Especially the goddamn rat ones

I had one of the old fashioned distorted text ones the other day, but instead of something like "please enter the text above" it just said "are you human?" next to the text box. Naturally, I typed "yes" but that turned out to be the wrong answer.

This was me in the early days of captchas. Now I'm all like 360 no-scope BOOM HEADSHOT let me in motherfuckers!
