Those Pesky Captchas

[Cardiffdaffs]

Getting seem to be getting harder to complete as AI works out the puzzles aimed to stop the bots.


It used to be distorted words, then click on the bridge, cycle or cross way. Then a jigsaw puzzle slider. Now they are using swirling images that blow your mind.


Fun fact. Captcha stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

I tried to enter a site the other day protected by the latest captcha and I couldn’t because no matter how many times I picked on the “right” image (you had to choose the odd one out picture) it said I’d failed. Ridiculous waste of five minutes.

some are really bad. The BA wifi one takes a good 3-5 goes of you typing in the correct letters before it'll let you in

Always annoys me that a robot is asking me to prove I’m not a robot.

Also - how can I be 100% sure I’m not a robot?

Imagine how Erling Haaland feels!

Easy - do you dream of electric sheep?

I get it constantly using Safari on my phone, even when just googling. Tried to figure out why it's happening but no clue. Anyone else have that problem?

I read an article recently that suggested we have unwittingly been used to help hone AI when using some of the image identification capacha things. For example identifying lampposts or whatever, where images that some AI struggles with is used deliberately for us to grade on its behalf.

dont know if its true, but it seems plausible.

True. Same thing happened on the old board when honing the swearcunting filter...

By the way, what was your porn star name?

How many remember their memorable word?

I can never get the motorbikes. There's always a bit of wheel or wing mirror extending into another box, and no matter whether you choose to include it or not, you're always wrong.

And as for traffic lights - are you supposed to include the post they're attached to? They're part of the structure, no?

It is. Lamposts and traffic lights are for driverless cars. Here's a good article on it.
