Ever since image captchas were created, they've fail me 50% of the time, so I've spammed a lot of random shit that's been accepted. If you get run over by an AI truck, I'm sorry.

You might be a bot.

Honestly, we should be paid for every CAPTCHA we complete. The amount of free labour big tech steals from us is astounding.

There's some anti-CAPTCHA services where they do just that. You pay so you don't have to fill them out. I'm guessing they have a bunch of Indian guys just filling out CAPTCHAs.

There is something fundamentally wrong with having to prove I'm human. Especially to a machine.

I never know if I’m supposed to click the squares that have a tiny bit of the object or not. I hate the ones like this where you have to do 3-4 screens and then it fails you.

I like some of the newer captchas where it’s like “choose the heaviest animal” and it’s trippy pics of birds, dogs, and elephants.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter because they show the images to multiple people and even shift the images around. If a square is only halfway there some people will click it, some won't and this way you can generate some sort of heat map which is all you need to label your training data.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

And then you'll fail 50% of those people because fuck them, fill out more captchas you monkey

If it doesn't like your answer it doesn't say you're wrong. It just gives you another puzzle to solve. Even if you're right, sometimes it gives you multiple puzzles anyway. Don't sweat the small stuff.

I fucking hate that scenario. Click on buses: ok, that the corner by a few pixels. Does it expect that or will it make me do another captcha?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Most of the time they already know whether you're human or robot from your user agent string and the speed of your request. I encountered multiple layer of Captchas if I turned in my VPN and blocked all trackers.

It expects you to behave like the other humans in its training sample. Just act like a neurotypical and you'll pass the captcha. And if you can't act like a neurotypical, then you're fucked.

Just tell us if you people click the sliver box or not!

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

Us people? You mean autistic people? Most of us click the box and that's why we fail the captcha.

[–] [email protected] 81 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I always click at least one wrong square on purpose, just to fuck with their training data. Most of the time it accepts it anyways.

Because assuming you are human is not so much about the correctest of selections as much as it’s about moving the cursor around the screen in imprecise, non robotic, humanly ways.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean if you think about it, you're doing unpaid labor to prove you're a human.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Is that a reason not to do it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Might not be for you, but for them it seems to be

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 62 points 7 months ago (2 children)

To fuck with the training data. But don’t worry, most of the time it accepts it anyways.

That's what he's doing. Not why he's doing it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (3 children)

The lolz.

Or to slow the inevitable AI takeover of society.

The data collected from these tools are used to train models that detect cars and stuff with precise accuracy. Decades of data from millions of users each day. Once these are perfected, they will be sold to smart car users as auto-driving mode and what not. These services are likely going to be subscription based to maximize the profits.

Not to mention that they'll probably be used by cops to profile people long before then..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Profile people as... traffic lights?

I'd assume it's because they don't want to hand out free labor.
