Please enter the first ten quintillion digits of pi too continue...

You have 50 milliseconds..

Some fifteen year old nerd: "I got this"

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Could you use another bot to solve that bot's test?

We already have the reverse, where automated spam tools outsource to humans to beat the captchas: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/technology/26captcha.html

They would have to make a captcha that only a select group of bots can solve

[-] foo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It'll be bots all the way down...

[-] bfr0@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Which of the following would you most prefer? A: a puppy, B: a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: a large properly formatted data file?

[-] ug01x@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

No, it is the bad kind of puppy!

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago

I've used captchas before, this already happens :(

I have enough trouble finding all the bicycles in the photos, they wouldn’t need to change much

That's pretty much what DRM does, keeping us out of the inner working of stuff

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You have 10 seconds to solve: 4A % 1010

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's too easy. It should ask you to unencrypt a message using a given public key.

[-] klp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe the other way: if it gets solved too fast, it is likely a bot?

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We're keeping humans out, to let the bot empire thrive here. If you can mix base systems to do long division in 10 seconds on the internet, you deserve to be accepted into the bot technocracy

[-] Eso@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Which would you prefer:

  • A large, properly formatted data file.
  • A flower for your sweetie.
  • A puppy.

Edit: didn't see that someone else had already beat me to it!

[-] teacs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What's this a reference to?

[-] SE_DeepFried@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Nausiyan@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

They already do for me. I am legally blind and I have to hand my phone off to someone else to get past most the time.

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Y'all can pick out those buses right now eh?

[-] HunterBidensLapDog@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

I think they already do.

The number of Captchas I've been failing tells me the AIs are creating Captchas only other AIs can solve.

[-] Donovar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's that little sliver of tire on the "Bus" captcha that always gets me. Do I tag it? Or not?

I seem to fail it either way.
