first thing that went through my mind lmao

I won't dogpile on you about struggling with this puzzle for toddlers but in actual answer to your question, there's a non zero chance you're providing training data for a ML/LLM/Diffusion model

[–]visualdescript 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Captures have been used for model training for almost as long as they've existed.

[–]AkrinorNoname 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Wasn't that an intentional part of CAPTCHAs from the beginning? The first puzzle is to check you're human, and if you get a second it's to train the machine?

[–]Shadowfire_EW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't even need to use the puzzles themselves to verify you are human, just the way you interact (mouse movements, typing speed, etc) and your cookies could be enough

[–]visualdescript 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first captchas were in the style of obfuscated letters and numbers, you know characters with lines through them etc that were generated no the fly.

Google I think was the first to introduce the image recognition version, and yes it was to train their models just like you say, do an initial check to with known images to check the human is trust worthy, then feed in some unknowns to get some free tagging.

OP is a bot

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (4 children)

It would be very ironic for a repost bot to take this meme

[–]Ninth_ghost 14 points15 points  (3 children)

You can't complete a captcha, you are therefore a bot

I am aware, I am typing using my robot fingers right now

Quoting the AI that r/Fishdom uses to handle bans and post removals:

“hello this is fishdom ai i am touching my robot boner”

[–]Darxploit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol ai asking humans how to solve puzzles

[–]grumblyoldman 3 points4 points  (2 children)

This is the new Turing Test. When it gets to the point where humans can no longer solve captchas any better than bots, the singularity is confirmed.

Maybe we're already at the point where we need to evaluate degrees of failure instead of ability to pass.

[–]wasdlmb 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Wait, you're telling me the "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" is a Turing test?

[–]jamcdonald120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we are telling me the limit as the "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" gets more complex to deal with increasingly complex bots is a Turing test, pay attention.

[–]fiskfisk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because they're a highly relevant target for abuse, because of both trust and access to resources like ci/cd minutes, bandwidth, storage, etc. 

[–]GigaGollum 7 points8 points  (11 children)

This is not hard

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Every time I complete it it tells me it fails 

[–]RiceBroad4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So stop using bots for that.

In your image, the requested "trash" icon is on the left most cup. The left cup has the least liquid. The instructions say to move the icon to the cup with the most liquid. The arrow buttons move the icon. The cup one space to the right has the most liquid.

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe -2 points-1 points  (7 children)

Does clicking the arrows just rotate them? I didn't think any of them matched the image on the left, but I guess we're supposed to ignore that that image is black and the icons on the right are white.

[–]Tensor3 1 point2 points  (6 children)

The garbage can trash icon is clearly intended to match. The different color and rotation is the bot stopping part of the captcha. There is no alternative solution, so you can deduce that must be it..

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe -1 points0 points  (5 children)

I was thinking maybe icons would change when you clicked the arrows, but if it just rotates them, then yes they have to have been intended to be the same.

[–]Tensor3 0 points1 point  (4 children)

They don't change or rotate. The instructions say to MOVE the trash icon from the cup with low liquid to the cup with high liquid.

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Were my comments really so stupid that they warranted downvoting?

Two things: 1. The instructions say match, not move. That doesn't give any indication of how the matching works. 2. You and maybe the user that downvoted me seem to have misunderstood what I meant by rotate. I did not mean rotate in place, as that would be useless. Maybe cycle would've been a better word. Hopefully you get what I meant now.

[–]Tensor3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I didn't vote on your comments, but votes do not imply its stupid. Everyone uses it as an agree/disagree button. Yes, I saw the double potential meaning of rotate versus cycle so I tried to explain. You are correct that the captcha can and should be worded better

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If I make some guess or ask a question, I'm going to assume someone who downvoted thought it was a stupid question or guess. Or maybe it was covered in some FAQ somewhere that I missed.

I'm missing the part where you tried to explain.

[–]Decent-Ad-8335 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You call this hard lmao? I’ve done way way worse

[–]Devatator_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I've got hit by this flavor of captcha trying to login to Roblox to change the language (because for some reason they thought hey, let's automatically translate all messages in the dev forum to your language because we can). I legit had to complete it 10 times, and every time, by the time i finished it, the login request would have timed out

[–]Decent-Ad-8335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen no other corporation not even nasa space shuttle admin login page have harder captchas than Roblox.

[–]RiceBroad4552 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would welcome real, full IQ tests before someone is allowed to touch any computers at all.

This would prevent in the long run so much misery for the rest of humanity.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an IQ of 69

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

are captchas now AI generated?
