    Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it’s downright annoying now.

    Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don’t think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

      No. The point of recapatcha is to punish people protecting themselves. The system absolutely lies to you that you got a challenge incorrect.

      You aren’t the only one. I don’t bother solving them anymore because of this nonsense. I simply close the tab.

      After I started using a VPN it’s way too annoying to try and pass it. I use the audio alternative when possible. If not I kinda just give up lol

        I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don’t know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.

          The last one I did seemed to be a snippet from a yt video. Maybe it’s better now

      It’s because you are using a VPN. You always get a ton more captchas when using a VPN on some websites. Mainly because they don’t want you using one, so you can be tracked for ads.

    Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.

    Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it’s real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can’t do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn’t feel like giving it another try.

      Try the audio captcha option, those usually have an actual answer it will accept. Which ironically speech to text is more or less reliably able to solve, and there are extensions to solve captchas automatically for you that way

      are you using a datacentre IP?

      I’ve found that when i have my VPN connected it will get me to do like dozens of them. if my VPN isn’t connected it is usually just 1 or 2.

      Also when it’s in the cycle of prompting you for dozens of them, skip any like the one in the image above until you get one of the ones that has you select from multiple matching pictures. these seem to be the only ones that matter when it’s in that state.

    Ever wonder why these captchas are always cars, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights and crosswalks? Because YOU are doing the work of teaching the next generation of AI for self-driving cars.

    We all thought human creativity would separate us from the machines

    It turns out, humans just aren’t very creative

    Pretty sure that’s not how captures work. You don’t fail them, you add to the training set. You’re against the masses as to whether they considered it a traffic light when they were shown it.

      Have you never actually failed one of those image captchas before? Really?
