Artificial intelligence can solve tasks that previously only humans could solve. So what distinguishes us from machines?
Is anyone else just done with CAPTCHAS? I refuse to deal with them at all anymore unless I absolutely need to get to the content they’re blocking.
Maybe the ultimate test for a human is when the page is abandoned when a CAPTCHA pops up.
It doesn’t matter how perfect or sloppy I pick out cars, buses, bicycles or stairs, it still makes me do at least 3 rounds before relenting. Captchas are the bane of my existence.
Even worse is cloudflare’s infinite loop captcha that never actually lets me through. That one absolutely hates my firefox for some reason and forces me to use chrome.
Still, I’m extremely stubborn and refuse to give up my vpn and privacy, so I just suffer through.
CAPTCHA was never about keeping bots or AI out. It was always about tracking people. That’s why you get more of the “select correct images” CAPTCHAs the more you hide who you are online. It’s not that they are trying to figure out if you are a bot, it that they are trying to figure out who you are period. Interactions with a site exchange information the more interactions the more information they get. Also they can’t make a profit selling your information, they might as well use your free labor to train their AI.
Every time I’m given a captcha, which is often since I’m on a VPN, I intentionally get the first few wrong, just to do my part to poison their data.
