    We all knew this day would come, now it’s just a matter of making different captcha tests to evade these bots

      They were never a test to evade bots to begim with, most capchas were used to train machine learning algorithms to train the bots on ! Just because it was manual labour google got it done for free , using this bullshit captcha thingy ! We sort of trained bots to read obsucre texts , and kinda did the labour for corps for free !

        I heard Captcha was being used as training data for self-driving cars. Which probably explains why almost all of them ask you to identify cars, motorcycles, bridges, traffic lights, crosswalks etc.

          Both are right. The older ones with squiggly letters, numbers or that ask you to identify animals or objects were being used to train ai bots.

          The ones that ask for crosswalks, bikes, overpass, signs etc are used to train self driving ai.

          Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

            Pretty sure I’ve had “click all bicycles”, with a bicycle drawing on the road.

            The first captcha they already knew the answer to. The second captcha was to build the database.

        I’m pretty sure they began as bot filters. That’s what they became

      New Captcha question: Does pressing a controller’s button harder make the character’s action more impactful?

      if answer = yes : human

      if answer = no : bot
