Those ones are the fucking worst. I've noticed that if I try to succeed in these captchas too quickly, it'll just say "Sorry, try again" even when every click was correct, so instead, I've started going in slow motion and faking "misclicking" which makes it much more likely to accept me as human.
I cannot stand the idea that I have to pretend to be slower than I am, in order for a computer to not think I'm a computer. Thanks CloudFlare and Google.

- mqus 2y agoAs soon as I notice that I got this slow-fade-captcha, I will intentionally click all the wrong fields until I get a reasonable captcha. Not sure this makes a difference but it kinda works
- klyrs 2y agoI always spoil as many of these as possible. Sometimes it takes me a while to prove that I'm human, but I'm dead-set on convincing it that I'm a stupid human. Of course, I fantasize that some day a robo-car will crash because I taught it that there's really no difference between a motorcycle and a flight of stairs.

- WaxProlix 2y agoI love this idea, some sort of inverse Roko's Basilisk. Tie a bunch of low-IQ data points to the sources a super AI is likely to first use to identify threats so as to eke out a few more days of existence.

- bryanrasmussen 2y agoIt seems sort of like over-engineering here - pretty sure this kind of thing would never happen with the Illuminati Ganga Automated Drive-By Solution https://medium.com/luminasticity/the-illuminati-ganga-automated-drive-by-solution-23d82741e908 https://medium.com/luminasticity/the-illuminati-ganga-automa...

It is not only about detecting if you are a computer or not. They intentionally waste your time (regardless of whether you are a human or computer) to make it unfeasible to scrape millions of pages. The actual "detection" part is relatively less important.
