Captcha getting stupid!

[CoolHands]

First of all, it gets on my tits, I just want the website to do whatever it’s meant to without this nonsense. But anyway now they’re stepping it up a level which is annoying as a user cos I really don’t care about getting them right, I just want it as thoughtless as poss

But frankly, they’re getting increasingly bizarre!

Ha! Increasingly bizarre.

[CoolHands]

Haha very odd

It will lead to questions. Is a hen a chicken? How about a cockerel? When is a sea rough

Captcha - helping AI to learn about the world they're trying to take over - since 2003.

Is that the Royal Mail website by any chance? The worst example of Captcha implementation that I've come across in years.

Thats exactly why they do it. The AI is learning what humans categorise.

Yep this.

Humans already becoming slaves to our new robot overlords before we even realise it.

All we have to do is tell them steps are crosswalks and they'll fall down the stairs.

Boats, traffic lights, & buses can fk right off!

Bring it on!

[captain.scarlet]

amongst the worst are the eyesight test ones where you're looking at grainy images taken through a mirage for things like buses.

Or where you're trying to deduce from that chain of letters and numbers whether that wavy, wobbly letter is in small case or uppercase, a 'y' or a 'v' etc.

The best one is where cyclists repeatedly fail to identify a red traffic light.

I got the rough sea one on the Royal Mail today

Their tracking has been bugged for around a week, then it’s come back but doesn’t seem to be up to date
