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

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

      They really should. If you applied all the logic of, say, food labeling laws in 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.

    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.

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

      They can produce an unlimited number of CGI challenges and know what is correct. Collecting the AI training data from users 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/training for the most common solutions human use for a problem with multiple paths and choices.

        It’s part of trying to make them seem more human-like and as if they have general intelligence. And not just give the optimal and computer calculated solution, or the solution one or a few programmers think is the common solution. It needs data.

        And if it’s one of those who actually check, but has multiple paths, do the convoluted one(or just refresh).

    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 model is overfitted…

    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.
