Modern captchas are designed to be anti-human and use as for free training of their AI algorithms. We're slaves for free while Google benefits from this, both technologically and financially.
Next captcha from google will be even more aggressive, you're not logged to Google = you're a bot, you can't access that content.
- CaptainZapp 7y agoNext captcha from google will be even more aggressive, you're not logged to Google = you're a bot, you can't access that content. You may be right. But you know what: If I encounter captchas nowadays and unless I really need to get to that site it's "Fuck you very much!" time. I'm just not that interested in most of the web to make it woth my while and provide free work for Google.

- hombre_fatal 7y agoSome strong statements in these comments on a website with registration and login protected by Google's ReCaptcha. :)
- CaptainZapp 7y agoPlease explain. I've never seen a reCaptcha on HN. Is that because I registered my account something like 10 years ago?
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI agree that this is terrible, but what is your alternative? I can't come up with one.
