“Only human intelligence can solve” gives answer
ChatGPT just want Mr. Incredible on you.
I’d like to tell you that the captcha says overlooks and inquiry, but I can’t. I’m sorry ma’am. I know you’re upset. I’d like to help you, but I can’t.
Is this real lol?
Everyone knows that the real purpose of CAPTCHA tests are to train computers to replace us.
This but unironically… The purpose literally is to train computers to get better at recognising things
Specifically to help train AI for Google’s self driving car division.
Specifically to force all of us to do unpaid labor for Google.
Where’s my fucking paycheck‽
Your paycheck comes in the form of personalized ads.
And also to frustrate people who use anonimization techniques including use of the Tor Network to get them to turn off their protections to be more easily fingerprinted.
The funniest part of that is the people designing the AI systems seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that they’re slowly but surely trying to eliminate their own species. ☹️
Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.
Curious how this study suggesting we need a new way to prevent bots came out just a fews days after Google started taking shit for proposing something that among other things would do just that.
There is considerable overlap between the smartest AI and the dumbest humans. The concerns over bears and trash cans in US National Parks was ahead of its time.
Just encountered a captcha yesterday that I had to refresh several times and then listen to the audio playback. The letters were so obscured by a black grid that it was impossible to read them.
online study
not peer reviewed
“published” on arxiv (which is a public document server, not a journal)
study and authors not named or linked in the articletl/dr: “Someone uploaded a pdf and we’re writing about it.”
I suppose it’s this paper. Most prolific author seems to be Gene Tsudik, h-index of 103. Yeah that’s not “someone”. Also the paper is accepted for USENIX Security 2023, which is actually ongoing right now.
Also CS doesn’t really do academia like other sciences, being somewhere on the intersection of maths, engineering, and tinkering. Shit’s definitely not invalid just because it hasn’t been submitted to a journal this could’ve been a blog post but there’s academics involved so publish or perish applies.
Or, differently put: If you want to review it, bloody hell do it it’s open access. A quick skim tells me “way more thorough than I care to read for the quite less than extraordinary claim”.
I mean its pretty obvious that nowadays AI is absolutely capable of doing that and some people are just blind or fat finger the keyboard.
I mean, it is The World’s Hardest Game
So just keep the existing tests and change the passing ones to not get access. Checkmate robots.
Just kidding, I welcome our robot overlords…I’ll act as your captcha gateway.
I thought these were designed to make you want to walk into the ocean.
The passwords of past you’ve correctly guessed, now it’s time for the robot test!

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I failed a captcha repeatedly until I discovered you can listen to a description and then enter it. Visually I could not figure out what I was looking at
I’ve had to do 15 different captcha tests one after the other and they still wouldn’t validate me today.
So is it time to get rid of them then? Usually when I encounter one of those “click the motorcycles” I just go read something else.
We all knew this day would come, now it’s just a matter of making different captcha tests to evade these bots
They were never a test to evade bots to begim with, most capchas were used to train machine learning algorithms to train the bots on ! Just because it was manual labour google got it done for free , using this bullshit captcha thingy ! We sort of trained bots to read obsucre texts , and kinda did the labour for corps for free !
I’m pretty sure they began as bot filters. That’s what they became
Ez. Only allow access when they score 70 to 80.
“Please complete the next 200 captchas so we can have a reasonably accurate estimate of your success rate”
