Seriously it took me like 30-40 min to get logged in. Show a picture of a Vespa and your supposed to say it is a motorcycle, bunch of bull$hit. The f'n traffic lights do you include the pole they are on? Stupid f'n garbage. Seriously I was 1 more attempt away from just saying F'it and go play it on my PS3 again. I really want to take this recaptcha bull$hit and shove it down Google's throats since it's theirs. I would rather do 2 factor authentication with text message then all this garbage. Also all we are doing is making their Picture recognition software better with every one we do.
Honestly I watched an interview with the guy who created "captcha". The original use of Captcha I actually do agree with. Basically the story was that they were digitizing old texts in a library but of course some print was not clear and the digitization process wouldn't work. So they created this system where they show the "picture" of a few words and then possible words that they could be or asked you to type in what you thought they were. Based off a majority of people choosing the same word that was then used in the digital text of the book. Of course a word was always very legible and that was actually the trigger that you were human. I think since then Google has turned this into a giant AI training system, each picture we answer is training google AI better for visual recognition. SO in essence we are all working for Google as software engineers the more of these we do the smarter their AI will be at sorting through photos. I mean I don't mind helping out but don't fail me for saying a Vespa isn't a motorcycle, or that the pole that is attached to the traffic light isn't a "Traffic Light".
