This was for querying package delivery status. I finally got one right after many attempts. The layout, layers, colors change after every attempt so good luck on figuring out which letters count.
That hand is facing the wrong way, bot….
How so?? It looks like he’s looking at the back of his hand?
Isn’t anunis great? No captcha. Just wait like 15 seconds.
Are you sure you’re not a machine?
i’d go with WXU86
Shh don’t tell the machines
woopsie!
It’s ironic, because AI would have less trouble with this than humans.
Name and Shame.
The only way this is going to stop is when the organisation is either forced by legislation or embarrassed by public pressure into change.
Legislation only happens due to public pressure.
Legislation only happens due to public pressure.
Or a few wealthy people who want something bad enough to throw money at.
Much better when they have the little “vision impaired? click here!” button :(
It’s WXU86 or I don’t need this website after all.
These “verify you are human” things should be made illegal at this point. They were training OCR scanners, then self-driving cars, now they’re designing them to be anti-AI and we’ve gone full circle where captchas are on the defense.
They were always abusive and exploiting free labor, and more so now. If you dumb companies can’t figure out how to filter fraudomation/AI/whatever, just go out of business.
Tech industry, stop using us.
captcha: please click on all the stairs
stairs: literally every box
captcha: incorrect
I hate those the most. I get it wrong every single time. Well excuse me for including the rider as part of the motorcycle. I’m trying to save them from self-driving cars clipping their arm or leg on public roads.
Here’s the kicker. You’re not getting it wrong, you’re just being forced to train AI on another one because greedy corpos gonna be greedy.
Wrong in the sense that the machine thinks it is right (or enough people disagreed with your judgement).
it’s really astounding EVERYONE isn’t just using hcaptcha, it’s the only one that actually fucking makes sense and works
Steam uses this, and I swear I’ve been sober and awake when attempting them, but…
If you do the first too fast, it will just show a new one and nauseum. Or that’s my experience anyways.
Its just busy work. The computer uses the time to check for extraneous packets running to your address.
Nice try LLM Diddy

Says the bot
Are you dumb?
As my professor used to say, nothing is obvious. What’s obvious to you is not to someone else and vice versa.
I have yet to meet anyone that isn’t dumb in some way or another. Not op, but yes.
As others have pointed out, it’s probably the foreground characters. They’re easier to read and less ambiguous from occlusion by other characters.
In general I find you can resolve technical ambiguities or possible loopholes to instructions in these things by asking yourself “what would most people do, especially if not really thinking about it much?” That’s particularly helpful for situations where you have to select all the tiles with x object in them. Often you’ll see that technically there’s a little bit of the object in squares other than the most obvious ones that everyone would have selected and you ask yourself “does that count? Technically a little bit of it’s in this square” but if you just pretend you didn’t notice that and only go for the most dead obvious squares you end up passing. Once I realised this the number of times I failed CAPTCHAs significantly reduced. For some reason the only ones that continued to be a problem were the click a checkbox ones that seemingly analyse your mouse movement because somehow I apparently move like a robot.
