I always click at least one wrong square on purpose, just to fuck with their training data. Most of the time it accepts it anyways.

To fuck with the training data. But don’t worry, most of the time it accepts it anyways.

That's what he's doing. Not why he's doing it?

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'd assume it's because they don't want to hand out free labor.

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 19 points 7 months ago

You are on Lemmy asking why would anybody fuck with Google?

The lolz.

Or to slow the inevitable AI takeover of society.

Because fuck them, that's why. Nobody, not a single person, is out there trying to make AI that will make the lives of average humans more livable. 100% of it is for corporate profit. Oh yeah, they're gonna replace your job. And then where do you think your income will come from? It won't. Come from anywhere. You'll just be out of a job, no longer able to afford rent or food, but don't worry because for a brief moment, they really maximized shareholder value. In the short term at least. And that's all that matters anymore right?

I don't want to: not only work directly toward that goal, but also do it for free. There isn't much you or I could do to stop this shit short of revolting, but if enough people were to fuck with Captchas, it would absolutely have an impact on the rate at which this tech is ruining our lives.

The data collected from these tools are used to train models that detect cars and stuff with precise accuracy. Decades of data from millions of users each day. Once these are perfected, they will be sold to smart car users as auto-driving mode and what not. These services are likely going to be subscription based to maximize the profits.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Not to mention that they'll probably be used by cops to profile people long before then..

I mean if you think about it, you're doing unpaid labor to prove you're a human.

Because assuming you are human is not so much about the correctest of selections as much as it’s about moving the cursor around the screen in imprecise, non robotic, humanly ways.

Honestly, we should be paid for every CAPTCHA we complete. The amount of free labour big tech steals from us is astounding.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

There's some anti-CAPTCHA services where they do just that. You pay so you don't have to fill them out. I'm guessing they have a bunch of Indian guys just filling out CAPTCHAs.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Isn't that Amazon's Mechanical Turk?

Is that still a thing?

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

The payout for Mechanical Turk was abysmal. You'd make more money walking down the street and picking up the occasional quarter.

Ever since image captchas were created, they've fail me 50% of the time, so I've spammed a lot of random shit that's been accepted. If you get run over by an AI truck, I'm sorry.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

You might be a bot.

[-] starman@programming.dev 46 points 7 months ago

I FUCKING HATE GOOGLE CAPTCHAS

Sometimes when I'm on VPN or TOR these little fucks won't let me in no matter what, but instead of showing error message or something, they just keep throwing new traffic lights or bicycles at me

[-] jmiller@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

If you are using Firefox, switch your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, haven't gotten a captcha from them once. And right in the search bar you can switch to Google if DDG isn't doing too well on a particular search, I do end up doing that about 5% of the time.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

I've been using VPN, Firefox and DDG as default search engine for years and I'm filling captchas every single day.

There is something fundamentally wrong with having to prove I'm human. Especially to a machine.

[-] Lenny@lemmy.zip 29 points 7 months ago

I never know if I’m supposed to click the squares that have a tiny bit of the object or not. I hate the ones like this where you have to do 3-4 screens and then it fails you.

I like some of the newer captchas where it’s like “choose the heaviest animal” and it’s trippy pics of birds, dogs, and elephants.

[-] wischi@programming.dev 15 points 7 months ago

It doesn't matter because they show the images to multiple people and even shift the images around. If a square is only halfway there some people will click it, some won't and this way you can generate some sort of heat map which is all you need to label your training data.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

And then you'll fail 50% of those people because fuck them, fill out more captchas you monkey

Ever since I've understood that it accepts objectively wrong answers as long as it somehow seems as if you gave it some thought, I've made sure to hinder the accuracy of models that try to use my data.

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Meanwhile I use a VPN, so half the time it rejects me no matter what. It's really fucking annoying.

[-] starman@programming.dev 14 points 7 months ago
[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 7 months ago

I fucking hate that scenario. Click on buses: ok, that the corner by a few pixels. Does it expect that or will it make me do another captcha?

[-] exocrinous@startrek.website 11 points 7 months ago

It expects you to behave like the other humans in its training sample. Just act like a neurotypical and you'll pass the captcha. And if you can't act like a neurotypical, then you're fucked.

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Just tell us if you people click the sliver box or not!

[-] exocrinous@startrek.website 4 points 7 months ago

Us people? You mean autistic people? Most of us click the box and that's why we fail the captcha.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Most of the time they already know whether you're human or robot from your user agent string and the speed of your request. I encountered multiple layer of Captchas if I turned in my VPN and blocked all trackers.

If it doesn't like your answer it doesn't say you're wrong. It just gives you another puzzle to solve. Even if you're right, sometimes it gives you multiple puzzles anyway. Don't sweat the small stuff.

[-] s_s@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

It's mostly just making sure you move your mouse like a human.

The test and the answer as proposed is irrelevant.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Why does it keep asking me over and over again, then...and then other times, it doesn't. Did I accidentally move my mouse like a robot? Several times in a row?

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 6 points 7 months ago

It's more likely your IP was flagged for a reason unrelated to the captcha so it's giving you more challenges to verify.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Something about the expression on his face in that scene is so fucking funny to me. That look is just perfect for the scene.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

These always come up when you're in a huge rush to do something
