Worst CAPTCHA Ever

"Pick the wrong shadow" is viscerally horrifying as a concept, but creatively fascinating

What I hate is the infuriating ones where you click a correct box, and it slowly disappears to be replaced with ANOTHER picture, which is probably also a fire hydrant, so you have to click that, too.

What makes us human? ❌ Love, affection, care ❌ Music, painting, lyrics and other art forms ❌ Reasoning, doubt, critical thinking ✅ Selecting all traffic lights

Captchas 10 years from now: - Do a photorealistic drawing of a dog to prove you're a human - Win a TF2 match to prove you're a human - Write a song about proposing to a supercomputer to prove you're a human - Bake lemon macarons and mail them to the company to prove you're human - Translate the Voynich Manuscript to prove you're human

"Let's stop AI by making them read and at the same time train an AI to learn how to read" "We no longer can use that anymore as somehow AI's have learned how to read"

I was once given a captcha that asked to select the images of parking meters. One of the images was a plastic mailbox that the captcha thought was a meter. I failed the captcha for knowing it wasn’t a meter.

My favorite kind of Captcha is the one where you click the verify button and then just wait for a few seconds and then the Captcha is just done with no effort whatsoever.

i know how we can end the captcha war once and for all: "select normal looking hands"

In my opinion the most elegant one is the one where you simply click the "I'm not a robot" checkbox and all the analysis/evaluation is done behind the curtains.

By the way the jigsaw ones are typically tracking your mouse movement to see if it moves in an imprecise human way or a far too precise robot way.

new idea for a captcha: make a humanly impossible test, if u put the correct awnser, u r a robot

11:08 I solved quite a few of those math CAPTCHAs for fun (reloading the page), they look scarier than they are if you know basic algebra and calculus. And the answer to many of them is 0, including the example shown in the video!

fun fact: on some sus websites (pirated movies and stuff), if you're shown a captcha it might not be for the site you're on, instead it's getting you to solve it for a different site so it can bot that site don't need to make the AI better if you can just get a human to do it without knowing 😌

I admire Simi’s ability to take a seemingly boring topic and make me invested for 17+ minutes

"What is love? ○ A complex set of emotions asso..... ○ Baby don't hurt me." Had me dying lmao 💀 Wish captchas were actually that funny...

What we should do is make one that has a GIF in it. It'll screw with a lot of image recognition AIs, since not many can trace motion. Edit; Ok so thanks Thomasmills8613 for pointing out that this will just teach image recognition AI to trace motion. Only problem is, how do we deal with robots without teaching them something new?

Right now I'm regularly having to deal with a "choose the similar shapes" captcha. Problem is that I'm color blind, and the red-on-purple hexagons and green-on-yellow triangles are almost impossible for me to pick out. Especially given the teeny-tiny window it gives you.

You might be interested in Chinese CAPCHA too, they have evolved to rely on different uses of the Chinese language. For example: 1. As Chinese characters are basically square-y pictures, like 架, 奇, 雯 etc., they ask you to rotate a random character upright in the correct way. People who knows Chinese can do that effortlessly. 2. Different Chinese characters have the same or similar pronunciation, e.g. 忍, 人, 認, 刃, 仁, 韌, 飪... are all "ren" in mandarin, spoken in different tones, and all commonly used. So there is a CAPCHA for you to pick "which word sounds the closest to the given word". And also, to match the word to the given pinyin (i.e. "ren") and vice versa. 3. Three random, uncommon Chinese characters are given, and the distorted version on these three characters are hidden in a colourful picture. You are asked to click on each, according to the order they are listed in the question.

I don't know why, but when it talked about how the 'select traffic lights' and those sorts of CAPTCHAs were from actual google maps images, my brain just exploded a little. I had no clue that the original text based CAPTCHAs were even used to teach AI how to read, and so with that knowledge, the second that it talked about traffic lights, I instantly realized what that actually meant. That's real cool, and extremely horrifying that I didn't even know what that was being used for.

What's even worse nowadays is that you can cheaply buy a manual captcha solving service. So you have your bot interact with a website and when you're confronted with a captcha there's an actual person somewhere that solves it for you and you get back at botting...
