      Especially because the answers to these captchas are used to train self driving car AI, so if you fuck it up the self driving cars will crash and you will have blood on your hands :/

    Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

    Funny enough, there’s an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it’s more reliable than solving them manually

      Yes, Buster Captcha Solver extension (in GitHub, Firefox, Chromium), but there are novadays also several others, which works in all type of capchas, using AI. Because of this, Captchas are obsolet since years, turning simply in annoying clickbaits. They can’t avoid bots anymore.

    Whenever I get a capcha of anyone on a vehicle, I always make it a point to highlight the entirety of the driver too because I’m not going to just let Google train its self-driving vehicles to just ignore that every motorcycle has a rider on it.

      It’s actually checking your mouse movement to see if it looks natural or robotic. You can get a few wrong and it’ll still pass you.

        How does that work with touchscreens though? Since you arent dragging your mouse across the screen. Does it then fully fall back on the pictures?

    The ones that get me are captchas saying select all squares with motorcycles when it is clearly a bicycle.

      There was an inflection point where captcha went from “demonstrate human vision” to “guess what the robot sees.”

      I got one asking for mountain ranges where one was plainly the tops of nearby trees. Which I got scolded for not clicking on.

      I think, the trick is to not over think it. Just go with your first impulse. Be quick, be lazy, because most people are and when you reply like most people, you are “no robot”.

      The test isn’t the panels you click on, it tracks how your mouse pointer moves. Bots or robots tend to move in straight lines, whereas with humans, the pointer moves in a more random fashion. That’s how you pass.

    The worst for me is the motorcycles one; half of the pictures are of motor scooters. Does it count those as motorcycles or is it counting on the user to know the difference because they’re not technically the same thing?

      I was about to make a similar comment but you beat me to it.

      It recently showed me a bicycle as part of “select all motorcycles” so I didn’t pick it. And I failed. Twice. Finally picked the bicycle and it let me through. Guess the computer knows best.
