Hmmmm. Nice move Google. But I also remember that a machine passed the Turing test. And I don't like the sound of these two news together. Not because I'm worried about you, but because I'm worried about the websites I run as a dev.
Moreover, I'm not sure if most people know this, but reCaptcha was supposed to be converting ancient text to digital text[I read that once on quora, I'm not really sure if it's entirely true, but I guess it is]. So now, I can be less proud of not contributing to conversion of ancient texts to digital books.
And, I'd love you if you make the thing open-source, Google...
- ChrisArchitect 12y agoha yeah that was definitely the original purpose/project of reCAPTCHA.... but I think shortly after the google purchase, the AI got so good at reading garbled ancient texts that G allowed it to move on to other things..like house numbers.

- mynameisvlad 12y agoHouse numbers are actually the easier version, you got them if reCAPTCHA already knew you're probably human. After screwing it up a few times, it punts you back into the general category and you get two words again.
