    So are different users served the same picture but with the squares aligned slightly differently? Or is it exactly the same always for each user?

    They fail you on the first one to get you to do at least one more.

    I have noticed that the chances of success increase if one “forgets” the ever so slightly in squares or things like bicycle handlebars.

    I get the impression that perfectionists have to purposefully make mistakes to count as humans in these things.

    Man I’m glad I’m not the only one. And does the dude on the bike count as “the bicycle”?

    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.

        They do but shouldn’t. I had a captcha scooter recently.

        Note: They didn’t ask me to find the “scooter” squares.

          If I protect the body it’s “why does the soul need a body” and if I don’t protect the body it’s “how does reconstructing the body make sure the soul comes with it” it’s a catch-22 is what it is.

          It’s weird, I followed the instructions too closely opposed to basing it on emotional response. Not sure whether i would answer differently responding emotionally. I’m only in 7% agreement with the sample population lol!

          I find the statistics mildly disturbing on the last query.

    Why are we all out here doing unpaid image tagging so some tech company can have a dataset to sell to self-driving car companies? This is serfdom.

    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.

          Flashback to that Will Smith movie…

          I fail to see the connection between self-driving car data and Will Smith blasting aliens with a tiny gun.

            It was oblique.

            The robot deciding to save the protagonist vs the girl based on algorithms/statistics, compared with self-driving cars deciding how to react at traffic lights (and save you or not) because they learnt from your decisions in captchas.

      Or… you got it right but they take the chance and ask again to grab info about how you solve some more.

  • 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.

        Depending on the language, that might only sleep for 10 milliseconds, outing you as bot for sure.

    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

        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

    Gaaah! Wait! What’s the answer?? Sometimes I click that square, but other random times I don’t.
