Funny

I'm curious if it could solve the traffic light and crosswalk ones, I would try but I'm out of free image uploads from asking it to explain memes to test its cultural knowledge.

Captchas te not meant to deter all bots. It's meant to make it ever so slightly expensive that a mass DDOS attack would be extremely expensive to perform. Think like thousand sof requests per second, all being Captcha'd and how much it costs to run AI. It's current not a feasible solution.

There is cheaper AI that can solve Captchas though, and it's only gonna get cheaper.

I have an extension which solves most Captchas for me It does it better than me which is why I use it

pretty sure it's actually "p" not "P"

Computers have long since been able to defeat such captchas.

There's a program called Xevil that can solve even HCaptcha reliably, and it can solve these first gen captions by the thousands per second. It's been solving Google's v3 recaptchas for a long time already too.

People who write automation tools (unfortunately, usually seo spammers and web scrapers) have been using these apps for a long time.

Captchas haven't been effective at protecting important websites for years, they just keep the script kiddies away who can't afford the tools.

Captchas are used by google as weapon now, if you dare to use a VPN and adblocker.

Yeah captchas are done. Soon they will be easier to figure out for AI than for humans.

This is why Sam Altman is doing his worldcoin thingy with the iris scanners. His idea: One iris (well, two...) is one real human. I'm sure this will be abused though and I absolutely vehemently don't trust him with my biometrics so no way I will join that.

I think what we should do is just get used to the fact that the internet now consists of humans and AIs. Learn to take things with a grain of salt.

Some disabled people have trouble with captchas, so these days you can download an extension where a robot solves the captcha for you.

So close

This is why a lot of sites have moved to something more complex than text, like the weird “rotate this to match” stuff that LinkedIn uses.

The "puzzle" isn't the test, the test uses your browser history, mouse activity, etc to identify you as human (or not). The puzzle is used to generate training data for ML models.

There's a lot of misunderstanding in this thread about how captchas work.

What modern captchas examine isn't actually your ability to solve the puzzle... It's how you solve it. Things like mouse movements and how you type are big factors. So a bot would process for a moment, and then basically copy and paste in the answer, whereas as a human is going to type at a normal pace, often with pauses as they double check the details. Same goes for the click the tiles challenges. A bot will work through systematically, a human will bounce around, and their timings will be very different.

I wonder how that works on a Japanese captcha. I know people have had issues shortly after moving but not knowing the language at all yet trying to set some things up.

It got it wrong. That's a lowercase "p."
