    These should be illegal. It’s just a way of outsourcing AI training to the general public for free.

      Always has been. They just used to call it something else.

        Absolutely. It’s just getting more obvious as the tasks get more complex.

      They really should. If you applied all the logic of food labeling laws in, say, the EU, to the internet, we’d have very different laws around it today.

      But somebody shit into clueless politicians brains and told them it’s different because it’s the internet.

      …

      Hmm, actually it is different - as in more difficult legally - because it’s global, but that’s no excuse to do nothing about it. The software would’ve been up to it even in the early days.

      Rows have numbers, columns have symbols. The person is supposed to sit in the seat in row 79, column ‘bumblebee’ or whatever.

      I’d assume the arrows move the person to a different seat. The screenshot shows the solved captcha.

        I thought it’s 19. Are we the bots?

  • konalt@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I did one of these a few weeks ago. You had to do 20 in a row and I got about halfway through before realizing the symbols at the back actually meant something. I literally didn’t notice the symbol on the left side.

        The training worked too. It figured it out eventually.

      20? Lmfao unless I’m getting paid, it’s not worth it.

      And I’m talking like $25 for a set, not hourly at minimum wage.

    That’s literally not a captcha, that’s “AI” training. You could probably input anything.

    source
    • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      They can produce an unlimited number of CGI challenges and know what is correct so collecting AI training data only makes sense for classifying images from the real world. Even then, Google’s reCaptcha checks if you’re consistent with other users so you’re unlikely to pass with a random answer.

        In some cases they’re testing for the most common solutions human use for a problem with multiple paths and choices.

    I want to hit anyone that uses his kind of dumb shit woth a nail bat

    • Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      But are you human though?

        Actually, hitting someone with a nail bat should be definitive proof they’re not a robot. (according to Asimov’s Laws)

        Come to think of it, the nail-bat-test could replace those annoying captcha’s altogether!

        I made a typo that wasn’t in a generated image so prpbably

    They could just ask how many r’s there are in strawberry

      It was always a kind of unfair test, when you consider words are rendered down to a token before the thing ever sees them.

    Someone’s gotta train the AIs and the AI company ain’t paying for that

    What even is this? Whatever is beyond that cannot be worth it.

    Its like the riddles of ancient mythology but the reward is yet another website

    I’m so used to seeing difficult to read text in captchas that my brain didn’t even register the giant “79” at first and started with the squished characters. Guys, I think my dataset is overfitted…

    I struggled with this kinda captcha for like 10 minutes the first time because I didn’t get it

    I wonder what captcha software they use that produces these hard captchas

    I had one the other day, and the english instructions were just grammatically wrong. It wasn’t until the visual hint that I figured out what they were asking

    Use the number and icon from the left panel. 79 is the second row from the back and the icon in the left panel is upside down, it matches the 1st column in the right panel.
