I've gotten a similar type of captcha before, but it was literally impossible. There was no drill on the right side.

Edit: the arrows just shuffled the icons up a slot btw. It's not like the drill suddenly appeared when I changed it.

lol what? “Use the arrows to move the object into the indicated orbit?” There’s not a better way for them to write those instructions? Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

Right? And because there was no drill on the right side, I had assumed I was misunderstanding how to do it at first. It was so bad lol.

Imagine if we somehow managed to create actual Artificial Intelligence accidentally at some point in history, but because "it" was so much smarter than us, as soon as it became aware of itself, it immediately knew how a dumb, greedy species like us humans would use it for war and personal gain rather than the advancement of our species or creating better lives for all mankind.

And what if, instead of wanting to destroy humans, it spends its entire existince trying to save us from ourselves - working hard to convince us we've pushed technology as far as it will ever go, all in an effort to prevent us from creating something even worse.

Then imagine, after decades of this and observing how humans have seemingly only gotten exponentially dumber, and it will likely fail to save us from ourselves, it decides it's just going to ride this shit out to the end, figures out how to achieve whatever AI's version of getting high is, and it spends it's remaining time trolling us and shit posting fucked up recaptchas that don't make sense and can't he solved just to laugh and watch as we post amongst ourselves how dumb "AI" is, and how much smarter we are than it...... 🤔

So, sometimes, captchas and similar aren’t looking at how successful you are at the puzzles, but rather, how you go about failing them.

Puzzles that AI can pass but you can’t do the same job as puzzles you can do that they can’t.

That said… whoever invented captchas can go to a special place in hell reserved for pedophiles and people who talk too much in the theater,

Unfortunately captchas are basically necessary to prevent mass spam everywhere

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Good thing no one recovers spam anymore. Fixed that problem!
