Malfeasant,

I had one of the old fashioned distorted text ones the other day, but instead of something like “please enter the text above” it just said “are you human?” next to the text box. Naturally, I typed “yes” but that turned out to be the wrong answer.

raptir,

The correct answer is “or are you dancer?”

Slow,

I hate these captcha. You look at the picture, the edge of the traffic light or the motorcycle goes outside the box. You decide to click on the square where this tiny part of the image is and the message “This is incorrect!”.

Captcha without images from Cloudflare is even more infuriating. The so-called “Connection reliability check” takes quite a long time and this captcha appears often.

Jimmycrackcrack,

In my experience the least thorough interpretation seems to be the most accepted.

CarterDarter,

They do that on purpose, as an AI/Bot wouldn’t hesitate.

Sometimes I’ll be stuck on a captcha because I’m answering too fast, so I’ll wait a delay then hit the answer and suddenly it stops going in circles

Kedly,

I thought the reason is they want to see the limits of what a human considers qualify as answer to their question in order to better train their AI?

Edit: Although I guess nothing is stopping the answer from being Porque No los Dos?

CarterDarter,

I mean it could absolutely be both. There’s assumedly a lot that goes into these algorithms and most of it we will never know for sure, just make educated speculation lol

They must have increased the difficulty at one point cause I ain’t kidding, I cannot solve them anymore. I swear to god I donit correctly but it never works.

EddoWagt,

Same, I had to login to steam by solving one of these and I just couldn’t… Not sure why it’s so difficult all of a sudden

That could happen when the system has already flagged you as unwanted traffic. It just keeps giving you Captchas to solve until you eventually give up voluntarily.

shiveyarbles,

Yeah sometimes I’m like, well that’s a moped, does it count as a motorcycle?

DesolateMood,

I find that whatever your snap judgment is will be the correct answer, so basically yes the moped usually counts as a motorcycle

SuperSpruce,

My big interest right now is motorcycles yet I still recently failed a motorcycle captcha

UnspecificGravity,

Most of these were trained/tested using third world labor on mechanical turk. It actually helps to approach the problem from that understanding:

“Would a person who speaks English as a second language and who is getting paid less than a penny to decide, call this a motorcycle?”

Dude needs to answer about a million of those to make money, so he’s not overthinking it, your knee-jerk answer is probably right.

MonkderZweite,

Yeah, had to adapt my patterns so i don’t get always flagged as bot.

Imgonnatrythis,

I stress about the whole damn pole. If you showed me a picture of a traffic 🚦 on pole, and asked me what it was, I would say “a traffic light” not “a traffic loght and a traffic light pole”

These are actually checking if you are a bot btw, so to pass them more quickly just don’t move like a bot would. Do shit a bot wouldnt do like clicking and unclicking something, swirl your cursor around the screen, etc.

Also answer these kind of wrong to fuck with AI

kofe,

Chaotic good?

Daedskin,

This is how I approach these: that square only has a single traffic light, not multiple traffic lights like the prompt is asking for

Those fire hydrants will haunt me in nightmares

Rambi,

Especially because the answers to these captchas are used to train self driving car AI, so if you fuck it up the self driving cars will crash and you will have blood on your hands :/

Pazuzu,

Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

Funny enough, there’s an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it’s more reliable than solving them manually

Yes, Buster Captcha Solver extension (in GitHub, Firefox, Chromium), but there are novadays also several others, which works in all type of capchas, using AI. Because of this, Captchas are obsolet since years, turning simply in annoying clickbaits. They can’t avoid bots anymore.

Amends1782,

It makes me sad its not under active dev anymore. Last update to Firefox DEC 2022

Zerush,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Well, but still works fine in reCaptchas (these are also not updated since a long time) I think it’s still valid, if you don’t use it frequently. If not, as said before, there are several alternatives which work with AI,

Depress_Mode,

Whenever I get a capcha of anyone on a vehicle, I always make it a point to highlight the entirety of the driver too because I’m not going to just let Google train its self-driving vehicles to just ignore that every motorcycle has a rider on it.

Sidyctism,

Most of the time, it works if you just select the 3 most fitting ones

ch00f,

It’s actually checking your mouse movement to see if it looks natural or robotic. You can get a few wrong and it’ll still pass you.

someguy3,

Oh is that why there’s no shift click ability?

Sidyctism,

How does that work with touchscreens though? Since you arent dragging your mouse across the screen. Does it then fully fall back on the pictures?

ch00f,

It might fall back on the actual images in that instance. Captchas are a lot more advanced now. The ones where you just click “I am not a robot” use cookies to track your browser history and make sure it looks organic. Identifying images alone has gotten too easy.

The ones that get me are captchas saying select all squares with motorcycles when it is clearly a bicycle.

mindbleach,

There was an inflection point where captcha went from “demonstrate human vision” to “guess what the robot sees.”

I got one asking for mountain ranges where one was plainly the tops of nearby trees. Which I got scolded for not clicking on.
