Pretty sure that's not how captures work. You don't fail them, you add to the training set. You're against the masses as to whether they considered it a traffic light when they were shown it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 minutes ago* (last edited 3 minutes ago)

Recaptcha is one if the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.

Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it's real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can't do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn't feel like giving it another try.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

Yeah the most recent version of CAPTCHA is completely seamless for the end user because there is no more value to be had gathering this kind of data. Instead it runs in the background of the web site, looking at your mouse movements/clicks/keystrokes, and determining whether or not you're a bot based on that information.

The problem is a lot of websites still use the old version, or their own hacked together CAPTCHA alternative, which decent bots have been able to beat for a while now.

Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

How does it know when it’s right if you’re the one teaching it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You and many other humans are doing verification work

It's pretty sure it's already right, but if enough people get the same image and get it wrong the same way then something's up, flag it

I took some compsci classes years ago when this tech was new and that's exactly how it was described as being handled

Once image recognition software got good enough to be right most of the time they started this shit to help get it the rest of the way to all of the time

Do it any other way and you have to pay those people

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:

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

Can LLMs learn art appreciation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 43 minutes ago

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 ....

[–] brbposting 10 points 6 hours ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 126 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (13 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

Same. Buster is my most recent must-have extension for this reason, auto solves like 95% of CAPTCHAs for me.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

If you use ad blockers and/or vpn they will just gaslight you forever.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 hours ago

Please select all squares containing a gaslight.

After 2, I say "fuck it" and find a different option.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Works as long as it's not your bank or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Look, I know I probably have an account balance, and it's probably positive... What else is there to know?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

find a different bank >:)

You aren't the only one. I don't bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.

[–] CanadianCarl 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Humans outsourcing human checks to bots because it's too annoying to prove they are human. We've fallen so far.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it's better now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 40 minutes ago

Maybe I'm mixing it up with some other captcha service (hCaptcha?).

CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago

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.

Yes yes, and 2+2=4 and you hate Big Brother. Now hold still while we put this rat cage on your head.

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
