I actually like seeing those, when I have time, because I assume they are training ai with it and using my selections as tagging data. Pick all the cars: nope, everything but cars.

I'm probably the reason you fail, because I'm poisoning the data and reducing the confidence scores for the tags.

I remember when doing those captcha felt like improving computer science and that was a positive thing, teaching computers to see. How quickly we've fallen.

You're probably getting flagged. You have to be just slightly off. Miss one or two by a square or two. And remember that image so you repeat it every time.

It's a whole mini game sometimes. I hate them with every fiber of my being.

It took me years to learn that you're supposed to do them very slowly. Otherwise it will keep bothering you to fill out more. Pretend you are 80 years old and you're good to go on your first try.

At least identifying shit is easy, I have seen some wild captchas. Roblox for a while had some really crazy ones where its like "Identify the shape that most closest matches the answer to this math problem", and the shapes are all highly stylized numbers on a field that is basically a colorblind test.

Math? I'd drop the entire service for that. We enslave rocks and teach them math and language to avoid more math.
