This captch shit is going to get worse, it's already become way more prevalent because every website is being dogpiled by AI crawlers sucking up their bandwidth, so they throw up a captcha that barely slows down the crawlers but seriously impacts the average user

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

People don't realize how bad captcha is for accessibily until they see older people do it. It might as well be a dark souls boss.

The problem is that business aren't even aware how many false positives captcha is costing them because obvious every denied user in captchas eyes is a bot with no exceptions or false positive information. People from poorer countries are especially more vulnerable as their fingerprint profiles are of lower quality.

So if you're an older person from lower economic development country traveling you're at serious risk of being left out of the internet.

What if this has nothing to do with captchas and op is just trying to be abusive with content?

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago

I've had some websites where I've had to go through like 12 of these. Took me about 5 minutes just to access the site it was ridiculous.

The internet is for clankers now. Humans are the machines.

I always assume that since the captcha is learning what the correct answers are by how everyone else is solving it. Because of this, presumably there won't be a clear consensus for anything that is ambiguous and the captcha doesn't actually know the answer either and will accept it either way.

I just click the obvious shit and just do whatever for everything else and always pass these first try.

Yeah, I will purposely subtly fuck up sometimes to see if it'll allow it and always have a little mini celebration when it goes through

Zero, I never ever solve one. Do I look like some ant that works for free to train your shit google?

Persistence in giving wrong answers is key. And if it won't help, a boycott of the site/service and a mail to the admin. Noone cares, I know. Even the AI-hater obediently solve recaptchas.

Oh wait...I actually DO overthink it, it seems. Even beyond the borders of the task itself 😁

[-] PrimeErective@startrek.website 4 points 20 hours ago

Just do the audio version and fuck it up as bad as you can. It's much more lenient

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago

Never actually tried. Guess they check your valid input there too, yes? I so hate recaptcha and lazy devs using it.

None of them are lights, most of them are just the metal housing.

None of the squares contain traffic lights, just images of them.

I asked you to go to the store and buy cheese but you came back with a plastic container of cheese? Why can humans not follow directions?

[-] gezero@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 day ago

your answers will be used for training ai...

As for me, i have a dice on my table, when i roll six i give a wrong answer in some regard.

[-] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 10 points 21 hours ago

Die.

No really, a single is a die. Multiple are dice. 😂

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

That'll get filtered out statistically.

I tend to skip sites with all this crap, if I can.

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 21 hours ago

There's a Dell community site that just hits you with these non stop. I went through maybe 10 and noped tf out.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

As if they're not already running scripts in the background to check for that anyway!

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago

Existential crisis shit!

Maybe that IS why I couldn't get past it, fuck. I, I never realised. It explains so much!

[-] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I tend to click the headphones and intentionally give wrong answers. Because the "identify this sound clip" is a lot more forgiving when it comes to giving just BS answers. But most of the time I will just go elsewhere.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Do the handlebars on the moped count?? Ahhh

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 day ago

I never know what it wants, and it seems to deny me either way.

[-] nil@piefed.ca 0 points 11 hours ago

They never let you solve these kinds of captcha. It's for telling you to fuck off, in the most irritating way.

[-] noodlejetski@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

it's been a godsent for me for years.

Also the bottom right corner.

[-] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

'Select all squares with motorbikes.'

Handlebar is overlapping a square. Do I select it?

[-] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 18 hours ago

I always just click the four tiles most applicable

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

The ones that want me to pick the character jumping the highest can fuck right off.
