They never let you solve these kinds of captcha. It's for telling you to fuck off, in the most irritating way.

This captch shit is going to get worse, it's already become way more prevalent because every website is being dogpiled by AI crawlers sucking up their bandwidth, so they throw up a captcha that barely slows down the crawlers but seriously impacts the average user
I've had some websites where I've had to go through like 12 of these. Took me about 5 minutes just to access the site it was ridiculous.
The internet is for clankers now. Humans are the machines.
I always assume that since the captcha is learning what the correct answers are by how everyone else is solving it. Because of this, presumably there won't be a clear consensus for anything that is ambiguous and the captcha doesn't actually know the answer either and will accept it either way.
I just click the obvious shit and just do whatever for everything else and always pass these first try.
Yeah, I will purposely subtly fuck up sometimes to see if it'll allow it and always have a little mini celebration when it goes through
Do the handlebars on the moped count?? Ahhh
Zero, I never ever solve one. Do I look like some ant that works for free to train your shit google?
Persistence in giving wrong answers is key. And if it won't help, a boycott of the site/service and a mail to the admin. Noone cares, I know. Even the AI-hater obediently solve recaptchas.
Oh wait...I actually DO overthink it, it seems. Even beyond the borders of the task itself 😁
Just do the audio version and fuck it up as bad as you can. It's much more lenient
Never actually tried. Guess they check your valid input there too, yes? I so hate recaptcha and lazy devs using it.
None of them are lights, most of them are just the metal housing.
I asked you to go to the store and buy cheese but you came back with a plastic container of cheese? Why can humans not follow directions?
I always just click the four tiles most applicable
your answers will be used for training ai...
As for me, i have a dice on my table, when i roll six i give a wrong answer in some regard.
Die.
No really, a single is a die. Multiple are dice. 😂
That'll get filtered out statistically.
I tend to skip sites with all this crap, if I can.
There's a Dell community site that just hits you with these non stop. I went through maybe 10 and noped tf out.
Maybe you're a robot?
Existential crisis shit!
Maybe that IS why I couldn't get past it, fuck. I, I never realised. It explains so much!
I tend to click the headphones and intentionally give wrong answers. Because the "identify this sound clip" is a lot more forgiving when it comes to giving just BS answers. But most of the time I will just go elsewhere.
The ones that want me to pick the character jumping the highest can fuck right off.
I never know what it wants, and it seems to deny me either way.
it's been a godsent for me for years.
Also the bottom right corner.
'Select all squares with motorbikes.'
Handlebar is overlapping a square. Do I select it?
