Captchas getting harder or am I just getting blind
Tried to make on new account on lemmy... It did work in the end (obviously).
Good thing there is the audio version to read it for me. (sarcasm, I know it's supposed to be for accessibility purposes. Still used it though)
For instance, when humans were asked to solve distorted text CAPTCHAs, they were able to solve them in 9 to 15 seconds. That sounds great until you learn that they were only able to get the answer correctly 50-84% of the time.
On the other hand, bots taking the same texts were able to answer the same tests in less than a second, and they were able to do it more accurately—99.8% accurately, specifically.
google's captcha basically doesn't even use the actual puzzle anymore. That's only used to train their AI. Its based mostly on how you interact with site.
hmm yeah but at what point do we stop? If I already can't solve it without using the audio description or refreshing multiple times, I think we need to think about another solution. Or just make it less hard, if "stopping the bots" is not the only reason.
