...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

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.

I think you should do what the majority of people would do

This has been memed about forever, no one knows what the majority does.

It doesn’t really matter, they don’t expect you to get everything right on these. While most of the time you need to get mostly right (Google is using these to train their AI so often they are not sure themselves), they are also looking at other things, like how you move your mouse, and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human. If you pass a certain threshold they let you through, and you can do it even if you miss a square.

A bot trying to solve the captcha would be very fast so it makes sense that they block fast solvers.

Nah, you’re a robot man. We caught you.

That’s what a bot would say /s

But you’re right, the UX sucks, and there are other ways to detect and limit bots that don’t impact legitimate users as much - but Google needs to train their AI, and developers need to cargo cult stuff.

These things feel like they are made by microsoft. You click somewhere, wait 3-10 seconds and then you can click again.

I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha’s

it’s infuriating

and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human

which is why I assume, as a VPN user who rejects as many cookies as possible, I constantly have to do 5-6 fucking captchas in a row, sometimes more, before it’ll let me through… I can’t be that bad at doing them lol

Is it frustrating? Fuck yeah. Will it get me to change my behaviour and drop those measures so that the companies getting in my way can collect more of my data? Fuck no.

Have you tried using an automatic CAPTCHA solver (e.g. Buster)?

Yup, as soon as I moved to a privacy-focused browser, pi-hole, and VPN, I started getting a ton more captchas and they had many more in a row.

I consider it a badge of honor.

AFAIK, the first one is the real check, the second one is too train their image recognition AI.

That was in text captcha days

I vaguely remember 4chan figuring out something to do with which was the control and which the variable and deciding to spam solving the control correctly but the variable with some kind of nonsense (knowing 4chan probably a slur) until the system got enough confirmation that it got moved to the control group and would accept I it there

It has to be more sophisticated than that. Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

It probably checks your answer against the current model’s best guess and if it’s close enough, you get a pass and your input is added to the training data for the next iteration. The more wrong you are, the more challenges you get.

Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

I do that and as long as it’s not too outlandish it lets me through.

Isn’t it normal to get something like 6 challenges?

And suddenly one of them has new slow loading images which you won’t notice before clicking continue, thus failing

The most I got at once was around 21 I think. But twice I did such number without passing.

I should finally look at one of those automated captcha solver extensions for Firefox. I know some are more accurate than humans anyway.

Oh I usually get the green checkmark without any captcha.

It depends on the website you are visiting, whether you are loged in on Google and how much cookies you allow and a lot more. Also using Chrome may help because it collects more data.

Sometimes loging out of Google also helps.

That’s the frame of the lights so no

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

It’s the text ones for me. I struggle to read the font on some of them so I can’t tell the difference between a capital letter or a lowercase one so now if they’ve the text reader for blind/partially sighted people I’ll use that.

I had much (not) fun with the ones on the Sony/Playstation page.

I believe you haven’t met the Yandex Captcha. I don’t know anyone who passed that.

I cry, rage, yell then I refresh the the captcha

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

Well the seat post is under their butt.

Consindering that we’re training Ai to be safe on the roads i would say the rider is the most vital part.
