(Actual capture. I failed to solve it.)

Where's the Vantablack™ ?

At this point, I'll just close the tab rather than bothering to deal with this bullshit.

Exactly. I loose interest and walk away.

Tap objects that can experience true suffering.

Peewee, Chairry, Cowboy Curtis,
Chairry, Randy, Jambi
Human Fetus, Mr. Kite, Chairry

I mean, they all reflect light because you can see them?

What in the AI dystopian future kind of BS is that?

Also I hate to pick nits, but it's technically "CAPTCHA" and not "capture." It's supposed to be an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

Tap objects that are currently being exposed to true suffering:

The wall behind you, the upper-left of your hair,  the upper-right of your hair,  The wall behind you
The wall behind you, the top-left of your head,    the right of your head,        The wall behind you
The wall behind you, the bottom-left of your head, the bottom-right of your head, The wall behind you
The desk you are on, your left arm on the table,   your right arm below the desk, The desk you are on

I see...

Actually a science site I wanted to access.

No science 4 u

You see, now they want to make sure you are dumber than the AI. You code as AI because you know too much.

Maybe (3,2) is wanting you to notice the sun in the picture - or is it the eye of horus?

Can the sun reflect light?
Hypothesising that it probably can, theoretically; do humans have any test / measurement apparatus that might empirically prove it against the background emissions?
Do we need to wait for a 'Disaster Area' concert?

sorry if this should be an NSQ, I 'm sure enough as I care that this is nothing to do with the botty-detector.
But I am interested in whether anything strange happens with high(ish?) densities of light.

Selecting all the water pics didn't solve it?

Not necessarily. hCaptcha is not very reliable in my experience. Sometimes it wants you to select multiple pictures but only shows one that matches the prompt. Or or gives you multiple matching images but still says you're wrong. Sometimes it tells you you passed but then doesn't bother setting the token correctly so you have to do it again. Of course all of these can combine until you solve variations of the same damn captcha thirty times in a row.

hCaptcha is such a horrible buggy mess that my base assumption is that I'll get trapped in an infinite loop anytime I see it.

Just don't use it too much and it tightens up again

Trick question! They are all squares filled with pixels on a computer monitor, they emit light! The correct answer was "none of the above."

I've identified a bot account.

I feel like autism makes these impossible for me. I have to try several times every time.

Nice try, BOT!

Trick trick question! Suppose I watched this on that one reflective LCD monitor with no backlight

Tap the objects which have little in the way of micro surface roughness and reflect light in a mostly specular fashion

there

Then all of the above would have been the correct answer.

But you didn't, did you? I can tell. You've got that "emissive display" vibe to you.

I would also be confused af. First, I would think it wants me to tap objects with a somewhat glossy surface, even though all of them actually reflect light. But having sorted the first trick in this question, I am now confronted with two other questions: is a body of water considered an "object"? Also, are those actually photos of a river or are they illustrations of a river? They don't look realistic to me... Because if they're illustrations then they wouldn't be particularly more reflective than anything else in this set of images

I hate these things

It looks like they have an AI generate all of the valid images.

They probably have a database of images and then come up with some BS prompt and having the AI generate the valid responses. But because everyone involved here seems to be an idiot, the prompts are stupid.

I thought that these had been cracked by AI already so I'm not quite sure why we're even being presented with it.

Send the screenshot to support and call them posers

To train AI to solve them

It is a screen capture of this ridiculous test though

C'est ne pas un sock

It looks like they have an AI generate all of the valid images.

Are you suggesting that the Voight-Kampff test is being administered by robots?

Bob Ross would turn in his grave!

See, that actually makes sense.

Usually they're still used to label images for training AI

Don't worry, more often than not its the same even for people without it. Like how tf should i know if the edge of the bicycle wheel just being slightly over the corner should be considered part of the bycicle or not

Can you see it at all under any circumstances using any ability to detect light?

If so...

I had one of these earlier tonight which was asking which of the pictured animals came from eggs. Only after clicking on the various birds and submitting (success) did I notice there was also a crocodile. I then really wanted to be able to redo it with the crocodile included and see if it knew crocodiles also come from eggs.

Thomas Kincade, vomiter of light!

Oh true! "Actual capture" sounds a bit strange to me if it's referring to a screen capture, but it's entirely possible that was OP's intent and I misunderstood.

Um akshually ☝️🤓 most of those objects don't reflect light they absorb light and they re-emit photons at a different energy level.

(Pre submission edit I fact checked this first and while it is true, the same can be said for photons reflected by a mirror, so op is basically right, they are all reflections)

Ah but even the LCD panel reflects some light or else I wouldn't have to stare at myself when I end up in a dark videogame cave.

I did the same one and did select the crocodiles, which passed. I suspect the captcha has less to do with correct answers and more to do with analyzing mouse movements or something like that
