hCaptcha engineer here: this is an issue with Google's approach, not all visual challenges.
Our challenges have average solve accuracy within 1% when comparing users in major African countries vs US users in our user testing. Nigeria does slightly better than the US, in fact.
- silveriswrong 6y agoAmerican here. I had to say a mailbox was a parking meter yesterday to satisfy one of these terrible things. Your measurement of success may be biased by user acceptance of incorrect information in the process.
- anoncake 6y agoAnd as a non-American, I neither know nor care what American parking meters look like in the first place. They're training their model on my model of their model
- eatbots 6y agoThis would be a reCAPTCHA: there were no parking meter questions running on hCaptcha yesterday, from a quick check.
- garbage098 6y agomaybe because when i see one i dont even bother
- causality0 6y agoConsidering how horrifically broken hCaptcha is, slapping your hand on the keyboard would have an equivalent solve rate. I've had hCaptchas where one of the images was virtually identical to the example and it still didn't count as one.
- Strom 6y agoIt's very much an issue with hCaptcha as well. I have to frequently identify US parking meters that I only vaguely know from Hollywood movies.
