When you put it in correctly over and over but the bot checking it can’t realize it’s correct ironically. Also CAPTCHAs are getting worst in frequency and complexity. It’s not complex because it’s advance, it’s complex because they blur, distort, and skew the holy life out of the text or image so you can barely even tell what it is anymore.
CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart but they use bots to see if you are/aren’t a bot. Infuriating.
Update: how could I forget, in a lot of cases when you do a CAPTCHA you are training AI to recognize the correct image. You are training bots, 🤣🤬 that is the holy grail of irony
Reportedly, this training of bots is a thing of the past. Google used to do this, make people put in the street numbers from Street View or blurred words from book scans. But from what I read this isn’t really necessary any more, AI and computer vision got better and what we see these days is just wasted effort, it doesn’t contribute to anything except tell if you’re able to solve the challenge and how you move your mouse while doing it. I wonder why they still do all the zebra crossings and motorcycles and fire hydrants, though. Looks like a synthetic dataset to me, because pictures repeat on a regular basis and they’re not that hard… I’d certainly expect less repeating pictures and more occlusion and weird ones if this was training for something.
