Fridge fridge hamburger truck truck… ??? What’s the blue thing? I thought hamburger would be the answer, but it isn’t? I just get the same captcha with the hamburger in a different place. WTAF is happening? And what’s the blue thing? I answer and it refreshes with the same icons in different places. I AM HUMAN!

    You can’t even see what brand the fridge is! What a stupid captcha.

    If it’s a Samsung it’s definitely the one with the shortest lifespan.

    Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.

      I wouldn’t be so sure, I asked bing:

      Based on the whimsical nature of the objects described in the image, it’s a bit challenging to determine the shortest lifespan as they are not typical living organisms. However, if we consider the objects metaphorically, the burger-shaped car might represent a food item, which typically has a shorter lifespan due to its perishable nature. In contrast, vehicles and cameras usually have longer lifespans as they are non-perishable goods. So, in the context of the CAPTCHA, you might consider selecting the burger-shaped car as the object with the shortest lifespan. Remember, CAPTCHAs can be subjective, and the correct answer may vary depending on the specific logic programmed into the test.

        w/no prompt, GPT-4o:

        To complete this CAPTCHA challenge, click on the hamburger in the image. Among the objects shown, the hamburger has the shortest lifespan.

            They are using these as unpaid human labor to train the generator model. It’s a cheap way to annoy users and hop on the dick of the latest ShitAii trend, so any manager with even a whiff of capitalism in their blood is jumping on it.

              Pretty much this. Google’s captchas some years ago were all about pointing out road related things, like semaphores, other cars, buses, etc, because self driving AI was just around the corner.

              hCaptcha, the one in this image, is literally using us to train/refine art prompts. I’ve had a number that asked me to choose the pictures that showed a “whatever”, with the 9 images for clicking being obviously AI genned. Sometimes, it accepts 2 rights and 1 wrong.

            Increased costs & time burden I suppose. I paid for that image analysis. A few cents perhaps, but that’s at least something at scale.

    Oh, I see your mistake. Those are Samsung fridges. Nothing has a shorter lifespan than a Samsung fridge. Since there are two they will die together to maximize the inconvenience factor, and they thus must be clicked simultaneously. That is the only way a fake Samsung fridge could mimic the frustration caused by a real one.

    Ugh, Rockstar and Blizzard have these super insane captchas where you have to solve puzzles 20 times in a fucking row without making a single mistake. They show the answer and then you have to flip through 6 images and choose the correct image matching the answer. Times 20! I just wanted to play GTA5, just gave up. Wasn’t worth my time because it kept failing.

      I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we’d have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.

        I actually haven’t bothered anymore since that one evening. I haven’t played GTA 5 in years and wanted to play the story a bit, but if this is how it is, then they can take their captchas and shove them in sideways.

            But this is just the crack? I’d need to be able to install the game first, but I can’t log into the installer.

    With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years

    So hell if I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      You think commercial trucks are planned to be obsolete after 5 years? Are you a failed captcha guessing bot? You’ll have to like triple that number.

    I don’t mind captchas if there were 1-3 of them only. Try connecting via vpn or tor, you get stuck with 30+ captchas one after another going in loop even if you kept answering them all correctly they keep on coming: select truck, select bike, select cum… holymoly fucking shit bro

      One thing that helps for google’s captcha is to leave the browser tab alone for a while, while you go do something else, then later come back and click the checkmark field. It will then not open a captcha window but will just proceed.

    Captchas today are completely obsolete to avoid bots, more now with AI, since years and are just simple click ads from different companies since no one clicks on banner ads anymore. A simple Honeypot system or, as they do in some forums, waiting half an hour before sending the email with the account code, are much more efficient to avoid bots, without pissing off the user.

    It is the burger, I’ve had this one a few times today and it was always the burger. Maybe you have something else going on, sometimes adblockers break them. Whether intentionally or not, who knows.
