The problem with modern captchas, especially recaptcha, is that they're becoming increasingly annoying and require way too much attention and thinking. You literally have to work to prove you're a human. It's no longer one second you'd spend typing some crooked numbers, it could well be a minute or two clicking through crosswalks and traffic lights and storefronts because you had the nerve to block Google from following you around the internet. (is it even legal to make a website without Google Analytics any more?)
I have to do it every month to pay my electricity bill and I absolutely despise it.
On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the moment when AI/ML becomes good enough that there simply won't be a way to make a captcha that would reliably tell humans and machines apart.
- Scoundreller 5y agoI think the fact that I'm a human leads them to giving me more captcha. One day a self-driving car is going to smash into a car and they're going to present to court that 52% of "humans" in 983475283475 captcha tests couldn't see it either.
