Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs

What they are doing is comparing your answer and seeing if it is consistent with how it has been answered previously. They realize that not everyone is going to give the exact same answer, so as long as you answer it in a way that enough other people have answered it, it should let you in.

I’ll usually go with the minimum number of clicks that I think will get me through, since I’m lazy and it’ll also at times slow down how fast you can click which is annoying.

I’ll also answer them wrong if I think it’s a mistake that enough other people will make. “Yes… that RV over there is a bus…”

They are also overly US centric.

One of the questions asks you to click on only the school buses. I had to Google how you tell the difference between a school bus and not a school bus.

Also is it a crosswalk if it’s at an intersection or is it only a crosswalk if it’s in the middle of a road somewhere?

The questions either need to be not cultural or they need to be adapted for where they detect the user is coming from, the first option seems easier.

  Interesting. Do you not have school buses, or are school buses not distinctly marked? How do kids get to school when it’s beyond walking distance?

    They are just buses.
    
    I guess the British government just assume that school children are smart enough to get on the right bus without them being individually distinct.
    
    I knew school buses are yellow but I did not realize that they are always yellow. I did not realize that the yellow color meant school. I just assumed that the yellow color was a color busses could be.

  School busses and regular busses look completely different. What do those look like in your country?

    Well here in, not the United States of America land, we just have busses. I was not aware that busses required a special magic paint job.
    
    I suppose the paint job prevents school shooters wasting their time.
