And fuck every site that does this for wasting my time.
I get it, but most of these sites are trying to protect from malicious AI bots that are scraping the web and DDoS’ing them to death.

most captcha-like prompts are used for training AI
Also true.
Eventually LLMs will also evade those captchas, if not already.
Most frustrating one I came across recently was between the shopping cart and the payment screens. Are you fucking kidding me? I want to give you my money. I’m about to pay you. That’s why you exist. And you put three fucking captchas between me and the “buy” button? Fuck you.
I mean, be that as it may, they’re doing it by making their site a bad user experience. I didn’t come to whichever site to play stupid tile games (unless it’s stupid.tilegames.com) so it’s just immediately irritating.
I’m sure it is. The alternative is that the site doesn’t exist at all.
Yep. Cloudflare used to have a relatively good captcha, but recently they’ve started asking me to click on the box twice. I click for the first time, the page reloads, then I have to do it again. Honestly, using the web these days is becoming increasingly frustrating.
They stole the internet from us
been this was for years
Half of the time it doesn’t even fucking work.
I too immediately leave the site when this pops up now. I’m just fucking done with it
OP is just mad cuz they aren’t human and can’t get in the clurb.
beep boop
Sorry, I can’t hear what you said, because of all that *CLANK CLANK CLANK* noise you’re making. Clanker~
why is this marked as nsfw?
They used a no-no word. My work typically drags people into the parking lot and ties them up until they starve if they’re caught using that word.
kinky
Look Jan, ‘bicycle’ isn’t a dirty word, you just got dragged into HR because you said Deborah was the town bicycle.
Dunno, maybe OP is a woman, and thus has fits under clothes that a reader may imagine?
Ive found with these theres a audio option(headphone icon usually at the bottom) havent come across one without yet. Though i mostly just say fuck it and leave the site.
Stupid thought but what if we’ve been teaching an llm to identify objects the entire time.
Well, the chances are pretty high we’ve been teaching an IMAGE RECOGNITION MODEL this entire time because Google has TOLD US thats what we’re doing.
We have been, thats literally what recaptcha is for
Check the history of ReCaptcha: it started by helping digitize booksxfir the Gutenberg Project, then once it got acquired by Google, it switched to house numbers, street signs (auto driving?), and is now helping with object identification.

I bet you don’t even know what a bicycle looks like.
Prove me wrong:
a captcha image asking for users to click on the bicycles

Anything is a bicycle, if you’re brave enough.

I’m going to disagree here. It must have two wheels. I get the reference, but you didn’t nail the landing.
