Except when it doesn't. Every so often it suddenly spams one with sheer number of captcha on sites that use the Google's Recaptcha API. Then you have to solve detect the houses, cars, store-fronts, deceiver plates and street signs several times successfully to move on or be prepared to solve several more captches to be allowed to move on. I would wish Google fix Recaptcha. It used to be so good.
- beobab 9y agoI hate it when I fail the Turing test, and can't log in to stuff.
- jacobush 9y agoIt doesn't seem to matter which images I click, it lets me in after a while anyway.
- culerawo 9y agoObviously I am 99.99% sure I am clicking correctly, yet Recaptcha displays me another and another captcha, until it lets me move on. Is it a system bug or maybe their bot detection got quite unreliable?
- lotsofcows 9y agoNeither. When Google finds someone willing to train its AI for free, it likes to take advantage.
- culerawo 9y agoYou are a bit sarcastic. What can a user do? Either he continues solving "train their AI for free" until the let you move on or you leave the site?
- megous 9y agoYou can complain to the site operator. Google is not forcing their captcha on websites. If enough people do that, perhaps site operator(s) will take notice. Tell them exactly what you don't like so they don't eventually change to different vendor, but same annoying captcha tech.
- beobab 9y agoI remember one particular set of pictures with both buses and coaches (and some with neither) on it, and it asked me to click on the buses. It said I'd got it wrong, but presented an almost identical set afterwards, and I included the coaches, but that was also wrong.
- kbenson 9y agoI've seen this happen, and I think it was because the IP address was previously used for craping of some sort, or somehow set off some flags at Google. VPN providers can cause this because sometimes their IPs are used for just such things.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoWhenever I get spammed with captchas I assume the site is somehow redirecting them to me from a bot.
- mpeg 9y agoAre you using an adblocker or any other privacy extensions (PrivacyBadger, Disconnect, etc.) ? If you are, Google will spam you to death with captchas; it kinda makes sense because captchas are getting easier to solve for machines, so apparently the new test of humanity is whether Google can track your activity on other sites.
