me: clicks all the traffic lights
I hate that captcha -- the Google captcha where a single image (like a picture of a street with traffic lights, bikes, buses, etc) is divided up -- it is the worst one by far.
I've always thought it was intentional so that humans could train the edge detection of the machine vision algorithms.
It is. The actual test for humans there isn't the fact that you clicked the right squares, it's how your mouse jitters or how your finger moves a bit when you tap.
What really stresses me out is the question of whether a human on a motorcycle becomes part of the motorcycle.
Of course not. But what about that millimeter of tire? Or the tenth of the rearview mirror?
Of course, but CAPTCHA says no, do it again, to hell with those bicycle handlebars!
It does not.
See, that's what I thought too, but according to the Captchas, I don't know what a motorcycle is ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Right? After failing 90% of captchas I started selecting the person on the motorcycle as well. And wouldn't you know it, I'm now passing most if the time.
You can just click a couple squares and hit ok. It doesn’t have to be right.
I hate when the captcha starts at 1/10, so much so that I'll usually just walk away if I can.
You‘re doing it too fast most likely. Try doing it very slowly instead. I recently realized most captchas are designed for seniors, not tech savvy people. They will keep throwing them at you if you‘re too good at them. I think the joke that one day only AIs can solve captchas so you have to fail at them in order to be recognized as human has long become a reality in a way. Hope that helps.
