I’m starting to think captchas have a mistake threshold I have to pass because stupid humans have to make errors
What was that saying park rangers had about people not understanding the handle on bear-proof trash cans?
I think it was roughly “there’s significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans”.
Tom scott video?
I mean is the pole that the traffic light is on considered part of the traffic light? Those two pixels of motorcycle handlebars in that one square that is otherwise just pavement? Am I supposed to click in them? Instructions unclear! I hate these things. Just scan my damn retina already.
Then woudn’t they be robots? I have failed a lot of captchas cuz of the font mostly so they’re successfully weeding out idiots along with the bots.
Robots have passed us
An OCR program can easily solve most of those tho. So humans might be at a disadvantage at this point.
We are.
On the “choose all the squares that contain _____” there’s a heatmap so if roughly 40% or more of people agree on a square you’ll pass.
If 40% of people think a square contains the necessary object then 60% think it doesn’t, and vice versa.
Good job Watson.
then picking what 40% of people picked shouldn’t make you pass, cause you’re in a minority. your original argument is invalid.
They didn’t make an argument, they explained how it worked.
Google is giving you the benefit of the doubt if most disagree, but a significant portion still clicked it (at least 40%).
