I always thought street lights ≠ traffic lights?
Yeah, that’s just the comic author
These are made so the lowest denominator can pass. Both options usually work.
I recently had one where they asked to select all the pictures with a parkmeter in it and only one picture actually had a parkmeter in it. It wouldn’t even accept my answer. I had to reload a new captcha. I’m pretty sure that from the constant bot attacks they’ve slowly been corrupted so that the “correct” answer is the one only a bot would pick.
I suck at these, apparently. I especially hate the motorcycles, but this goes for almost anything. Do I select the tile with just some wheel in it? Is the wheel a motorcycle too? What about the rider, are they the motorcycle? I mean, when a bike passes you on the road, you don’t say “I got passed by a motorcycle and its rider”. What about the pole the traffic light is on, does that count as part of the traffic light? I end up doing them for like ten minutes until my wife comes over and gets it first try.
Highly recommend Buster extension. You click on it and it uses the audio version and solves it for you. Works like 95% of the time.

do motorbikes and mopeds count as motorcycles?
Just try to do the worst posible just to pass it but at the same time fuck up the AI mind
Is there a way to resize videos?

I’ve found that if its only the tiniest bit then not to click. U also gotta account for the object hitboxes being rectangular. I have been trained by a machine in how to convince the machine I am human by lieing to it thus training the machine more wrong. A perfect case of misalignment lol.
It really does not matter is what I learned, I just click whatever I see in 1 second and that is it. I will have to redo some, but I always had to do that. So I stopped wasting any time.
It says pick all squares that contain street light so it counts because it contains part of a street light. I get these wrong like 50 percent of the time so IDK.
I used to do this but have learned (like a fucking machine) that its best not to as that gives me a better success rate.
But you know who doesn’t get these wrong? Bots!

Or… you got it right but they take the chance and ask again to grab info about how you solve some more.
I don’t often fail due to this. I’m pretty sure getting perfectly accurate isn’t the point or required.
It’s based on whatever the majority of humans using captcha say. They ask multiple question on the captcha. Some are testing you on. Some they don’t know and give to multiple people to figure out which boxes should be selected
Ok. So is there enough streetlight in the square?
Should be yes, but the human is only interested in getting passed the prompt, not with accuracy so it’s no. Which I’m pretty sure fucks with their AI training, but who cares.
If the majority of those given that specifc question say so, then yes
If the majority given it say no, then no
There’s no predefined answer here
One of creators of the captchas said in an interview that they themselves were never sure about the edges and if they should include it or not
Overthinking is a sign of not being a bot
sleep(10);
print(“You might be right.”)
Depending on the language, that might only sleep for 10 milliseconds, outing you as bot for sure.
It’s not testing.
It’s training.
Gaaah! Wait! What’s the answer?? Sometimes I click that square, but other random times I don’t.
There are 5 lights.
The answer is the time and decision making, not correct choices.
I always pick the lowest possible effort to fill this shit.
I’ve had to do 30 captchas in a row on Microsoft services, talk about testing patience lmao
