    I’m curious if it could solve the traffic light and crosswalk ones, I would try but I’m out of free image uploads from asking it to explain memes to test its cultural knowledge.

    I have an extension which solves most Captchas for me It does it better than me which is why I use it

    Captchas te not meant to deter all bots. It’s meant to make it ever so slightly expensive that a mass DDOS attack would be extremely expensive to perform. Think like thousand sof requests per second, all being Captcha’d and how much it costs to run AI. It’s current not a feasible solution.

    There is cheaper AI that can solve Captchas though, and it’s only gonna get cheaper.

      Also, captchas are meant to gather data to train on. That’s why we used to have pictures of writing, but that’s basically solved now. It’s why we now have a lot of self driving vehicle focused ones now, like identifying busses, bikes, traffic lights/signs, and that sort of thing.

      Captchas get humans to label data so the ML algorithms can train on it, eventually being able to identify the tests themselves.

    Yeah captchas are done. Soon they will be easier to figure out for AI than for humans.

    This is why Sam Altman is doing his worldcoin thingy with the iris scanners. His idea: One iris (well, two…) is one real human. I’m sure this will be abused though and I absolutely vehemently don’t trust him with my biometrics so no way I will join that.

    I think what we should do is just get used to the fact that the internet now consists of humans and AIs. Learn to take things with a grain of salt.
