Show HN: Cerno – CAPTCHA that targets LLM reasoning, not human biology
- ravenical 6mo agoIs the idea that if you /pass/, you're an AI?
- opem 6mo agothis game is a rage bait! Try solving on a mobile device. I don't think an elderly person would ever be able to get through this!
- ahofmann 6mo agoI managed once to complete the maze, but then it went into "checking" and a spinner forever.
- king_phil 6mo agoWas impossible for me to solve, too, on mobile.
- bestouff 6mo agoSame. I think an AI would have an easier time than me.
- ge96 6mo agoEven when I successfully draw a path from green to red, not touching anything it says "Sorry that's not quite right"
- krackers 6mo agoNew "impossible game" just dropped
- iwalton3 6mo agoUnfortunately it didn't work for me with my trackball mouse. I tried multiple times. This is very likely also problematic for accessibility without another verification pathway, as assistive devices and screen readers would fail the heuristics too.
- modinfo 6mo agoIt doesn't work for me either, I was trying multiple times and always fails, I was started to think, that maybe I'm the robot.
- dcliu 6mo agoInteresting idea but it didn't accept me the first 3-4 times I tried to draw the path on laptop trackpad - going slow led to it failing before I was finished, going fast led to messy paths that were rejected as well. Could something like this work for users with different levels of dexterity?
- kccqzy 6mo agoI am on a mobile device and I consistently find that my finger is not precise enough to draw a path; it kept complaining about path “not quite right” where my path just touched the wall a little bit. And when my finger literally obscures the screen while drawing, it essentially means I have to memorize an entire path before beginning. This requires significant spatial thinking skills and short-term memory for a human and it is absolutely unfair for a human to expend that much cognitive power to access a website.
- happytoexplain 6mo agoEverybody is saying it's impossible on mobile/trackpads, but I couldn't do it with a mouse either :(
- CoUHKT57BSe 6mo agoI'm assuming this is an april fools joke... cause it just don't work at all as a CAPTCHA.
- ranger_danger 6mo agoThe description doesn't make sense either... like "Color-word interference at maze decision points", but there are no colors (or words) at the decision points.
- _diyar 6mo agoI‘m as confused as the other commenters, especially since it‘s unusable on an iPad.
- simlevesque 6mo agoI did it correctly with a mouse and was rejected. Then I drew a straight line and was rejected. Then I closed the tab.

- Surac 6mo agoDoes not work on a touchscreen. Can’t see maze under finger and smh it always kicks me in the middle of the drawing
- ceayo 6mo agoam i a robot or is this just way too hard?
- mercatop 6mo ago[dead]
- 1attice 6mo agoDid not work for me (kept getting "something's not right") but I applaud the concept. I worry a bit about accessibility but that is a problem all CAPTCHAs have
- DHolzer 6mo agolike the idea, but i cant see what i'm doing when my finger coveres the screen
- rickydroll 6mo agoI was lucky to get through two or three bends, given the state of my arms and hands. Yet another way, tech says fuck you if you're disabled.
