I smell a robot! Prove, prove, prove! Prove to me you’re not a robot! Look at these curvy letters. Much curvier than most letters, wouldn’t you say? No robot could ever read these. You look mortal, if ye be. You look and you type what you think you see! Is it an E or is it a 3? That’s up to ye. The passwords that passed, you correctly guessed, but now it’s time for the robot test! I’ve devised a question no robot could ever answer. Which of these pictures does not have a stop sign in it?”

I don't know why you guys make jokes about this. Captchas LITERALLY keep SKYNET from forming.

Robots can just outsource CAPTCHA solving to humans from poor countries.

It's what causes the Matrix instead. The machines need us to solve the Captchas.

Choose the stop lights, hmm I guess... okay bike, busses, stairs. Incorrect! You are a robot do it again! No! You are wrong thats square with 0.15% of a wheel is obviously part of a bus!!!

God I hate those.

The other day I was talking on the phone with a friend and I said out loud, “how many damn polar bears do I need to click to get into your fucking store”, and he knew exactly what I meant.

Damn that's so true seems this Buddha guy has it figured out

One time I failed one of these like 5 times in a row. I was so infuriated. Maybe I really am a robot.

It's going to get worse. AIs are getting better at solving these than we are. There are plug-ins that will do it for you.

This is brilliant. But who invented it should be punished listening to Schlager music for the rest of his life 24/7.

I don't get it.

What is the plan once the AI gets good enough to ID buses? When you think about it they're undermining their own captcha.
