    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’m sure eventually someone will make a bot called something like ai-explains-the-joke that does this automatically.

        The majority of people right now are fairly out of touch with the actual capabilities of modern models.

        There’s a combination of the tech learning curve on the human side as well as an amplification of stories about the 0.5% most extreme failure conditions by a press core desperate to feature how shitty the technology they are terrified of taking their jobs is.

        There’s some wild stuff most people just haven’t seen.

          At the risk of sounding like a tech bro who’s desperately trying to secure funding: this truly does feel like a major leap in technology that is going to change the world.

          Anytime I hear it dismissed as “basically auto-complete”, I feel like it’s being underestimated.

            Its kind of funny because autocomplete on phones is definitely moving in the direction of using LLMs. Its like it wasn’t true when people started saying it, but it will be literally true in a couple of years at most.

      Yes it probably can… CAPTCHAs don’t work based on your answers (many types you can answer wrong and still sometimes pass) - they work by tracking your mouses movements and timing and deciding whether they human-like.

    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.

      It’s long been cheap enough that you can pay a call center full of people in a developing country to solve them for you. Going to be a while before AI is cheaper than that.

      Having used them to protect a few web sites from spammers filling up forms, they do cut down on the bullshit. This makes things more convenient for the people reading the information coming in from those forms, but I sometimes wonder if it’s worth the cost of everyone else having to pick out the bicycles in the picture.

      I believe this is why Google, and a few other companies, have started using behavioral analysis to figure out if you are human. Did your mouse wonder around the page before clicking to verify? Did you come from another website as if browsing the web? What device are you using and have you used it on this site before? Are you logged into an account? I’m sure they use many more factors, but it’s something that would be hard to replicate with bot behavior on a consistent basis (for now).

      it’s the recaptchas that they should have trouble with. since it’s not just about finding the right picture, it’s also about the time between clicks, the way the mouse moves, etc.

          but us humans aren’t truly random, we probably behave in similar ways to each other, but also have individual ‘fingerprints’. like the time it takes between keystrokes, or the length of time we spend holding the button on the mouse down while clicking. we could probably come up with a way of identifying someone based only on that kind of data. what was i talking about?

            Not without enough context to know what time of day, if the person is ill, or a ton of other things that would make someone respond differently at different points in time.

            The anti bot stuff is going to be looking for too much consistency, which is hard look for on its own before trying to look for some kind of ‘fingerprint’

        reCaptcha never works for me. Probably something with thirdpartyisolation.enabled. Can’t snoop all the history and stuff.

        Yeah, and a couple of people I know who were consistently reported to be robots because they’ve been shown captcha too much and as a result solved it too well. Which in turn led to more captcha and improved solving speed. Well, you see the problem, I guess
