    It's not you - captchas really are getting harder. The worst part is that you’re partly to blame.
    Correction: At 5:22, we say that Google uses reCaptcha V2 data to train their self-driving cars and improve Google maps. While they have used V2 tests to help improve Google maps, according to an email from a Waymo representative (Google’s self-driving car project), they aren’t using this image data to train their autonomous cars. For more on the future of self-driving cars, check out this article from Vox’s Kelsey Piper: www.vox.com/future-perfect/20...
    A captcha is a simple test that intends to distinguish between humans and computers. While the test itself is simple, there's a lot happening behind the scenes. The answers we give captchas end up being used to make AI smarter, thus ratcheting up the difficulty of future captcha tests.
    But captchas can be broken by hackers. The tests we’re most familiar with already have been broken. Captcha makers try to stay ahead of the curve but have to balance increasing the difficulty of the test with making sure any person on earth - regardless of age, education, language, etc. - can still pass it. And eventually, they might have to phase out the test almost entirely.

      When do you come across these slow captchas? Does it only happen when you browse incognito or something? Perhaps the captchas are deliberately made slower if they suspect you to be a bot, just to slow down abuse.

      And the worst kind of captcha is the one with a grid image like you 1 single image divided by a grid. And they are like select every traffic light or something. I swear to god i have never once completed that one. Ever

    I was once asked by a Captcha facility to click on all the 'sidewalks'. In Australia, we don't use the term 'sidewalk' - so I had no idea which little squares to click on. I had to Google the definition of 'sidewalk'. I have heard the word 'sidewalk' on American sitcoms, but not within the context of what they looked like. Americans need to understand that not the whole world is American. Make the Captcha tests culturally specific. Here in Australia, sidewalks are called 'pavements'.

    I would venture tracking software is used for advertisements. Taking note on what people click on or what they hover over without clicking, which products are chosen immediately and which are thought about for a little longer can be really valuable in marketing. Seeing which parts of the screen attention focuses on can also help with ad placement.

    I have thought of the perfect way to keep bots from completing captchas. Intentionally fail the captcha many times, then complete it after the “failed attempts”, or you can just turn on private browsing.

  • @proshark9966
    @proshark9966 3 года назад +1

    the thing is captcha checks your mouse movement and your solving time, and a robot (computer program) won't move the curser, it will rather "teleport it" to the location, and captcha can detects robots like this.
    And AI is not good enough (yet) to identify images from captcha quickly.
