'Select all squares with motorbikes.'

Handlebar is overlapping a square. Do I select it?

That'll get filtered out statistically.

I tend to skip sites with all this crap, if I can.

Zero, I never ever solve one. Do I look like some ant that works for free to train your shit google?

Persistence in giving wrong answers is key. And if it won't help, a boycott of the site/service and a mail to the admin. Noone cares, I know. Even the AI-hater obediently solve recaptchas.

Oh wait...I actually DO overthink it, it seems. Even beyond the borders of the task itself 😁

There's a Dell community site that just hits you with these non stop. I went through maybe 10 and noped tf out.

Just do the audio version and fuck it up as bad as you can. It's much more lenient

This captch shit is going to get worse, it's already become way more prevalent because every website is being dogpiled by AI crawlers sucking up their bandwidth, so they throw up a captcha that barely slows down the crawlers but seriously impacts the average user

I always assume that since the captcha is learning what the correct answers are by how everyone else is solving it. Because of this, presumably there won't be a clear consensus for anything that is ambiguous and the captcha doesn't actually know the answer either and will accept it either way.

I just click the obvious shit and just do whatever for everything else and always pass these first try.

Never actually tried. Guess they check your valid input there too, yes?
I so hate recaptcha and lazy devs using it.

I tend to click the headphones and intentionally give wrong answers. Because the "identify this sound clip" is a lot more forgiving when it comes to giving just BS answers. But most of the time I will just go elsewhere.

I've had some websites where I've had to go through like 12 of these. Took me about 5 minutes just to access the site it was ridiculous.

Yeah, I will purposely subtly fuck up sometimes to see if it'll allow it and always have a little mini celebration when it goes through

I asked you to go to the store and buy cheese but you came back with a plastic container of cheese? Why can humans not follow directions?

They never let you solve these kinds of captcha. It's for telling you to fuck off, in the most irritating way.

So special. This makes so much sense. Oh so much! You’re SUPER SPECIAL!

You should spam illustrations all across Lemmy cause you’re so special.

You’re so neat and cute you should post other cute illustrations all over Lemmy to show how cute you are. It’s totally going to make Lemmy cuter. Trust me you are so cute your spam couldn’t possibly be annoying and trite…

What if this has nothing to do with captchas and op is just trying to be abusive with content?

People don't realize how bad captcha is for accessibily until they see older people do it. It might as well be a dark souls boss.

The problem is that business aren't even aware how many false positives captcha is costing them because obvious every denied user in captchas eyes is a bot with no exceptions or false positive information. People from poorer countries are especially more vulnerable as their fingerprint profiles are of lower quality.

So if you're an older person from lower economic development country traveling you're at serious risk of being left out of the internet.

For what it's worth it stop the surprising number of web scrapers because they're not well programmed.

I think that used to be the case. I think AI is got to the point now where identifying traffic lights is trivially easy to the point of which the bots can do it too.

I test to see how much it'll let me get wrong just in case it's training an Ai. Makes me so happy when I'm wildly wrong and it let's me in anyway.
