I noticed it literally just a few nights ago trying to post something on reddit. I legit sat there dicking with the captcha for about 10 minutes, before I finally just said "fuck it" and closed the window.

I also noticed another pretty obnoxious one today, where the images were *extremely* pixelated and blurry, I feel like you'd get a headache if you spent much time looking at them.

Did reCAPTCHA make some kind of change or something recently?

I think captcha gets worse based on if it thinks something in your IP range is suspicious.

I think it’s comical to think that AI can’t solve captchas probably better and faster than humans. Why do we even still have them?

Aren't they being used to train AI?

May the inventor of CAPTCHA suffer a long, slow death of cock cancer.

Which thesedays apparently, can be either a man or a woman.

Have humans? Dunno. We should probably scrap them.

How sure are you that you are human?

I've seen a few perspective ones where you have to rotate an object so it's viewed from a specific angle, I miss the days where you could just click I'm not a robot.

They can be ridiculous, and the use of zeros and the letter O should be banned in all captchas and codes.

Ai definitely can solve captchas, but the system looks for human - like input while solving it, is my understanding.

I tried to reset my password on Steam and got an endless Captcha.

I guess my input is not human?

Yep, here's a decent (but slightly cringey) video that explains it

Yes I was helping a team mate create a Microsoft account the other day and it required scrolling through 5 images to find 3 matching icons and it had to be repeated 10 times. Clicking the wrong selection once was a fail and the whole thing had to be restarted. The captcha also seemed to be wrong itself a bunch of times.

Took about 20 minutes to get through it all

I have a Captcha on my fridge. Maybe for the better

Fun fact, captcha mainly uses your browsing patterns, history, and mouse movements to determine if you're a bot or not. Basically google uses all that data it harvests from you to determine if it's actually you.

If you're getting difficult captchas, that means either you're blocking their tracking, doing something suspicious, or they're not using recaptcha (the newer method).

This was a pretty entertaining video I saw a while ago that explains it.

*edit*

Fuck didn't even see that Revolutionary posted this a few posts above.

Has anyone got a fairly entertaining/cringey video on this subject they can share?
