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.
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
find a different bank >:)
Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it’s probably positive… What else is there to know?
Just spend money freely, then they will be eager to contact you about your balance!
THANK you.
Thankfully, the credit union I use has not implemented that so far. Just 2-factor authentication.
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
I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don’t know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.
The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it’s better now
Maybe I’m mixing it up with some other captcha service (hCaptcha?).
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.
imo thats unusual.
i usually need to do 3 at most.do you use a vpn or something like that?
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.
Those are used to train AI, so my guess is there are some kinds of quotas that they have to make within a certain time and when they underperform they just increase the load on each user.
You aren’t the only one. I don’t bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.
I just use an extension to solve it, that I was told about on here. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/ if it can’t solve it, just hit refresh, and try again.
Humans outsourcing human checks to bots because it’s too annoying to prove they are human. We’ve fallen so far.
If i try to pretend im a human it goes faster. Fidget with the mouse, hesitate and make a few small mistakes.

Things synths says
This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.
I do but I’m pretty sure it’s cause I select EVERY frame the object is in.
There are four lights!
Yes yes, and 2+2=4 and you hate Big Brother. Now hold still while we put this rat cage on your head.
I demand you post this in Ten Forward immediately!
And if the party says that there is not four but five, then how many?
Then it depends on how badly you want to play their game.
Ceci n’est pas un signe
That is not a painting by Magritte.
Il a des couches, comme un oignon.
Mais bien sûr
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.
plus illegal to not do under the creative commons license!
AI — anonymous Indians
Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives
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.

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.
Actually, it’s training a self-driving humanoid robot that’s supposed to climb stairs in order to terminate any potential John Connor that’s inside a house upstairs.

How does it know when it’s right if you’re the one teaching it?
Theres a CGPGrey video that describes old techniques. It’s not quite up to date on some of its predictions, but it is how some machine learning works. Of course, it doesn’t discuss current proprietary techniques, because those are company secrets. Still, it’s as good a guess we’ll likely get, unless something radically different has been invented:
There is also a second video about more modern stuff, but it’s more a footnote:
https://youtu.be/wvWpdrfoEv0
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.

CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters
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.
There are three lights!
No, four!!!
i really wish quote tweets (xeets? skeets? yeets?) would put the original post above the response…
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.
2+2=5
There are four lights!
There are NO lights!
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)
“Vous trouvez ça beau, Magritte ?”
pour les francophones 😏
Ok what parts of this would actually count? Do the corners in the 2 panels count? I’ve had to try this version of captcha again so many times
Why not link to the original?
Couldn’t find it
Can LLMs learn art appreciation?
As a large language model, I cannot appreciate art. However, this painting by Monet is especially exquisite because of the fine details in the brush strokes and the feeling of space in the …
It’s a witch!
Baudrillard strikes again.
