Bots can now solve CAPTCHAs better than humans
Bro, everytime I get the select all the ‘x’ tiles (motorcycle, bicycle, bus, etc) one I never know if it means “all” of them, like even ones with just a little bit on the tile. Does it want the tires, too? It’s bullshit. Never seems to be correct, what I select.
I’ve always done any square that includes any part of the thing, so the tire on the bus or the helmet of the motorcycle rider. That no longer works for me though, recently I keep getting more images and they seemingly never stop so I just give up on whatever I was trying to load. Its pretty ridiculous how shit the internet has become.
By now I’m up to filling one of these things. If they show me a second one, I’m out. Not wasting my time training some AI
I think they don’t train AI with captchas anymore. That used to be the case 10 years ago when we put in all the house numbers for google maps. but as far as I know they learned to do it cheaper without the captcha service. as of now (and for some time already) the results are just wasted.
so the tire on the bus
Ok, part of the bus.
the helmet of the motorcycle rider
The helmet is not part of a motorcycle. I will fail that captcha every time if it requires it.
You’re training AI on road safety, the head of the rider is the most important part of the motorcycle i would argue
“select the bikes” That’s a motorcycle and that’s a moped. Those don’t count-uh I fucking guess they do?
“Select the bus” Bro that’s an intersection at 200 feet.
“Type the Captcha letters” Is that a lowercase r or a capital T?
IKR! i try and solve the CAPTCHA and theres a tiny 5 nanometer slice of crosswalk on another tile, and i have no idea if i need to click it or not. And then sometimes you don’t have that issue, and you click all the correct tiles, and then it just takes you to another one, and another one, and another one… they really need to improve it
I don’t think it matters, as that isn’t the real test. Instead, it’s testing whether you are “behaving” as a human. Mouse movements, hesitation etc.
@kambusha@sh.itjust.works Then why does it keep repeating it if I get a tiny detail or a letter wrong?
@technology@lemmy.world @tek@calckey.world @Bonesince1997@lemmy.world
Yeah, and if you move the cursor convincingly enough, it will just give the check mark without showing any pictures.
It starts checking your browser, input devices, screen info, etc, before you even click the are you human box.
I suspect it knows you’re human and keeps track of those people who are good at clicking the image, so they can harvest more training data. They know who will keep trying, and give them more images to verify.
Do it slowly and don’t be consistent, sometimes I select the tile with 3 pixels of the thing its supposed to contain, sometimes I leave 2 or 3 tiles that clearly contain the thing, sometimes I just select a tile that doesn’t even match. Idk, it always works, I suppose the erratic behavior is what shows them I’m human or smth
<click the traffic lights>
me: clicks all the traffic lights
<wrong!>
I hate that captcha – the Google captcha where a single image (like a picture of a street with traffic lights, bikes, buses, etc) is divided up – it is the worst one by far.
I’ve always thought it was intentional so that humans could train the edge detection of the machine vision algorithms.
What really stresses me out is the question of whether a human on a motorcycle becomes part of the motorcycle.
Of course not. But what about that millimeter of tire? Or the tenth of the rearview mirror?
You‘re doing it too fast most likely. Try doing it very slowly instead. I recently realized most captchas are designed for seniors, not tech savvy people. They will keep throwing them at you if you‘re too good at them. I think the joke that one day only AIs can solve captchas so you have to fail at them in order to be recognized as human has long become a reality in a way. Hope that helps.
So we just invert the logic now, right?
Make the captcha impossibly hard to get right for humans but doable for bots, and let people in if they fail the test.
I haven’t been able to solve CAPTHCAs in years.
Are you a robot?
<fails captcha>
I guess not
