did i say mildly i meant want to nuke it from orbit
I was trying to book a trip through a travel website, after the 3rd tedious captcha I ended up using another site. I get it, the bot vs captcha war is getting crazy but if your website is unusable then i’m not going to use it.

The irony is that these puzzles, while designed to stop bot spam/fake registrations, are actually used to train AI/computer vision to be better… thus, creating the need for even more infuriating puzzles to be “solved” by humans.

And bots are already better than us at these tests. Might be better to assume if someone solves too quickly they are a bot. Sorry Mensa peeps

Or just don’t do it? I have really high security setting on my web browser that breaks most sites. If I’m being asked to do something like this I either move to the next site or just pick up the phone and call the company. There really is no reason to feed into this behavior.

The phone? Call the company through my device that is dedicated to mostly doomscrolling? Thanks but no thanks pal!
