Some captchas have also just gotten obvious AI training. “Click on the living being in this image”, “Select every image of the same object as in this example image”. And the images you have to select look obviously AI generated.

I kinda figured. It was annoying to do one, but then they wanted you to do two or three and thatcs absurd. Whenever it comes up now, I usually just close out.

Im surprised that this is in the news right now. This has been acknowledged as fact for a decade or so.

Things that are common knowledge for you is not common knowledge for everyone and vice versa.
Instead of making fun of people for not knowing things, you should take the opportunity to teach so that you can get these fun moments of discovery and learning.

At a certain point I did like 10 of them, and then ended up closing the page, cause it never let me in, all because I was on a vpn
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Funny thing is they stop asking if you do them really slowly. Almost as if to tell you, you‘re too inefficient to even be an unpaid intern or something. Anyway, if they annoy you, take your time.

Yea how about 20
LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 6 months ago
VPN? Google will just go in a loop with these things, so I just stopped using Google completely.
Bezier@suppo.fi 6 months ago
No. But it’s also not like I get 20 constantly, it was just the worst I’ve seen. Usually it’s 2 to 5, I think.
I assume they’re just collecting data on how many of them users are willing to do.
LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 6 months ago
One time I did five in a row, because I use VPNs for everything, and realized after the 5th time that it would have been easier to just use bing so I do that first now. Google has turned into my last last resort, which is quite funny, because that’s where Bing used to be. Lmao

Whenever I’m on a private window the captchas just keep on coming. Trying to reset your Steam password via the program will also trigger an infinite loop of captchas, you HAVE to use a browser.

Had this when at uni, mostly due to the amount of requests coming from a single IP
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
if you have to do that many, you either have some privacy setting on or on a flagged ip given from a VPN

Well yah of course I do. Why the hell is that ‘abnormal’?
catloaf@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Most people don’t, most bots do. You look more like a bot, so you get extra challenges.
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
its abnormal to them because vpns are often also used by bad actors. your use is not abnormal but its a there are other people misusing it making it worse for everyone else.
