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

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.

Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives
yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
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.
SSJMarx@lemm.ee 6 months 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.

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.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I can’t believe I never put that 2 and 2 together.
It stresses how stupid AI is then if it was a human the question would be “is this a stop sign?” So it’s not even asking us to validate data. To me that means AI is still far from being intelligent. It’s requiring our input to learn. That’s not how we operate. My kids don’t require me to show them images of a stop sign for them to know what one is.

How does it know when it’s right if you’re the one teaching it?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
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
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
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:

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 6 months 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 one 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.
Pazuzu@midwest.social 6 months ago
Try the audio captcha option, those usually have an actual answer it will accept. Which ironically speech to text is more or less reliably able to solve, and there are extensions to solve captchas automatically for you that way
Object@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
There’s unfortunately a chance it just locks you out because fuck you :(
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 6 months ago
are you using a datacentre IP?
I’ve found that when i have my VPN connected it will get me to do like dozens of them. if my IP isn’t connected it is usually just 1 or 2.
Also when it’s in the cycle of prompting you for dozens of them, skip any like the one in the image above until you get one of the ones that has you select from multiple matching pictures. these seem to be the only ones that matter when it’s in that state.
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 months ago
CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 6 months 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.

Honestly I feel like in this case it works out better. “Eat shit, Rene Magritte” is such a good line to have no context on.

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)

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

Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

We all thought human creativity would separate us from the machines
It turns out, humans just aren’t very creative
Holyginz@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I mean, duh it wanted them to recognize that? Recaptcha is annoying but this is just pettiness.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

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

Please select all squares containing a gaslight.

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

Works as long as it’s not your bank or something
Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months 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.
Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
imo thats unusual.
i usually need to do 3 at most.
do you use a vpn or something like that?
RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 6 months ago
VPN and strong anti fingerprinting probably.
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
If it has an error it will keep asking you for more forever.
puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Those are used to train AI, so my guess is there are some kinds of quotas that they have to make within a certain time and when they underperform they just increase the load on each user.
babybus@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You aren’t the only one. I don’t bother solving then anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I just use an extension to solve it, that I was told about on here. addons.mozilla.org/…/buster-captcha-solver/ if it can’t solve it, just hit refresh, and try again.
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
If i try to pretend im a human it goes faster. Fidget with the mouse, hesitate and make a few small mistakes.
SSJMarx@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Same. Buster is my most recent must-have extension for this reason, auto solves like 95% of CAPTCHAs for me.

LodeMike@lemmy.today 6 months ago
No. The point of recapatcha is to punish people protecting themselves. The system absolutely lies to you that you got a challenge incorrect.
Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.
n0clue@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I do but I’m pretty sure it’s cause I select EVERY frame the object is in.
