Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it's downright annoying now.

Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don't think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

If you use ad blockers and/or vpn they will just gaslight you forever.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 days ago

Please select all squares containing a gaslight.

IPv6 tunnels too :/

After 2, I say "fuck it" and find a different option.

Works as long as it's not your bank or something

After I started using a VPN it's way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol

It's because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don't want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

imo thats unusual.
i usually need to do 3 at most.

do you use a vpn or something like that?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago (3 children)

VPN and strong anti fingerprinting probably.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

I burned off my fingerprints so maybe that's why.

If it has an error it will keep asking you for more forever.

It’s best to refresh the page if you get more than a couple.

So it could bitch and moan about being over capacity and/or refuse to load the image for no discernable reason after I'm forcibly redirected to a useless web page after it detects I'm on a web browser.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Couldn't find it

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.

Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it's real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can't do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn't feel like giving it another try.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Try the audio captcha option, those usually have an actual answer it will accept. Which ironically speech to text is more or less reliably able to solve, and there are extensions to solve captchas automatically for you that way

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

There's unfortunately a chance audio option just locks you out because fuck you :(

Ever wonder why these captchas are always cars, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights and crosswalks? Because YOU are doing the work of teaching the next generation of AI for self-driving cars.

It's common courtesy to link to the xkcd you have the image from. It's one of them.

I don't believe it, at least not anymore.

Google has had more than enough data to train AI models from reCAPTCHA for many years. In 2010 it displayed 100 million captchas per day. You simply do not need hundreds of billions of solved captchas in your data set.

I feel like its only purpose nowadays is stopping basic bots and annoying people who don't let themselves be tracked as much as advertisers would like.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I can't believe I never put that 2 and 2 together.

It stresses how stupid AI is then if it was a human the question would be "is this a stop sign?" So it's not even asking us to validate data. To me that means AI is still far from being intelligent. It's requiring our input to learn. That's not how we operate. My kids don't require me to show them images of a stop sign for them to know what one is.

My favorite is when it asks me to identify stairs. I just imagine a self-driving car mistaking a set of stairs as more road and deciding to try and climb the steps.

We all thought human creativity would separate us from the machines

It turns out, humans just aren't very creative

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

It's being heavily impacted by AI as well, since the "correct" answer is chosen democratically so if enough bots are answering captchas then they choose whats correct and it becomes better at verifying botity than humanity.

i really wish quote tweets (xeets? skeets? yeets?) would put the original post above the response...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Honestly I feel like in this case it works out better. "Eat shit, Rene Magritte" is such a good line to have no context on.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

It takes an extra second or two, but I’ve been using speech-to-text on the audio option. Instead of a chore, it’s an exploit! (Not really but your dopamine doesn’t have to know that)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

"Vous trouvez ça beau, Magritte ?"

pour les francophones 😏
