Approved Bots
Unfortunately they're on pages that I absolutely need to get into because my money is stored behind them. I cannot stand them, and I generally agree with you, if some random site has me doing a captcha in leaving.
I fucking hate these. I've seen old people that don't know any better get stuck on these for at least 30 minutes.
it's super ableist. if someone has poor vision or colorblindness chances are they're going to miss things.
I have regular everything and I still fuck them up. "click the ones with a fire hydrant". But a tiny piece of fire hydrant is spilling into another box. Does it count? Does it not count? Good luck!!
I had one the other day that was deep fried jpegs to the max. Like, what the fuck am I supposed to do.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on them. Delicious deep fried jpegs.
They offer a sound option right below.
a hard to see option, aptly enough
Pro-tip for webscrapers: using AI to solve captchas is a massive waste of effort and resources. Aim to not be presented with a captcha in the first place.
Depends on the case, sometimes its unavoidable.
I think thats much more difficult than it seems, because usually only residential IPs are the ones that don't get those. And if you start to use a residential proxy too much then that IP can also get flagged.
That's why companies like Oxylabs exist
That’s suspicious - I can’t pass 100%. here’s a new captcha for you: make the user do 100 in a row
- 100% is ai
- <50% is dumb “ai”
- in between is a person
we have trained them very well
So where's my portable app to do so?
not at home but I believe there's a few that run in docker.
I fail more of those checks then these AI bots do. Surreal.
Just be very general, don't get stuck in the details.
It goes against my human nature to not overanalyze.
leaves plastic banana under your bed
You'll find that, months from now, and you won't know where it came from, or why it's there.
Bots are answering them wrong. Google takes the most submitted answer as truth.
Aren't these Captchas designed to get training data for AI models anyway?
"System does what it was designed to do" doesn't feel that surprising...
Aren’t these Captchas designed to get training data for AI models anyway?
Yes and no, the captchas are just meant to be hard for computers to solve but easier for humans. People saw that, and thought that "if we're making people do this might as well have them do something useful" not meant to be malevolent- and the purpose is still stopping bots, training them is a side-effect.
