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 a single 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.
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
There's unfortunately a chance audio option just locks you out because fuck you :(
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.
2+2=5
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.
AI — anonymous Indians
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.
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.
Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives
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.
Actually, it's training a self-driving humanoid robot that's supposed to climb stairs in order to terminate any potential John Connor that's inside a house upstairs.
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.
Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don't think my setup is that sophisticated lmao
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.
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.
After I started using a VPN it's way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol
I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don't know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.
The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it's better now
Maybe I'm mixing it up with some other captcha service (hCaptcha?).
Same. Buster is my most recent must-have extension for this reason, auto solves like 95% of CAPTCHAs for me.
imo thats unusual.
i usually need to do 3 at most.
do you use a vpn or something like that?
There are four lights!
I demand you post this in Ten Forward immediately!
Yes yes, and 2+2=4 and you hate Big Brother. Now hold still while we put this rat cage on your head.
i really wish quote tweets (xeets? skeets? yeets?) would put the original post above the response...
CAPTCHAs should be renamed Human Gaslighters
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.
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)
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.
Have you never actually failed one of those image captchas before? Really?
So if we are all purposely wrong enough it'll be useless?
