If you’re doing one of the captcha things and a bit of a motorcycle sticks out, are you supposed to say that’s part of the motorcycle?

Those things are actually tracking your mouse movements (as bot mouse movements are rigid while human mouse movements are uneven), not seeing if you got the correct answer. They might also be accounting for other factors like the time it takes to complete the task, but I don’t think the correct answers are actually encoded into the captcha at all.

It really doesnt matter that much. Generally, it shows one image that they know the answer to and checks if you get that right (or close to right so if you dont click the sliver it will usually be counted correct) and then the seconds one, now that they know you are not a bot because you answered the first one correctly, will be trained based on what you answer. It does also track keyboard inputs and mouse movements to see if you are most likely human.
Not falling for this one, robot…….
Not a stupid question. I swear this drives me crazy. What constitutes a motorcycle? if i can see just the wing mirror is it click or don’t click?
I used to do this sort of thing professionally before they started using the captcha system to train the models instead.
It was actually a question we posed to the development team at one point and their reply was if the part took up more than 50% of the grid then mark it as positive,
Sounds like something a computer would have to ask. Trying to crib off the humans, OP? 😉
or when it asks for fire hydrants, but the tiniest smidge of the little pokey outey thing on the fire hydrant is on the other square… do you click it?
You are likely training an AI engine for automated driving. Would you want the car to identify it as part of a motorcycle? 🙂
There is no “right” answer, you are judged against the aggregate consensus of everyone else answering.
Lots, but not all captcha are actually a mechanism for automated workflows when it is not confident or someone has flagged the output as incorrect.
Google had recaptcha which was for a massive project to OCR scan books — you would often get 2 words, one easier than the other. You have to get the easier word correct, then you can literally put anything in for the other word. The system then keeps showing that captcha to other users and stops once a majority vote agrees what the other word is.
The captcha you are talking about is for AI image segmentation, could be an automated alert for security camera footage trying to detect if an object is in a the frame, it probably doesn’t matter if you actually get every cell, its more about is this actually a motorcycle and roughly how big of a box should it draw around it. It might be confident with a few of the cells and you have to get those right for it to accept it.
Nice try ChatGPT! You need to figure it out on your own!
What if it’s a scooter not a motorcycle? Most people won’t know the difference, should I select what most people will select or what I think is right?
When I am asked about crosswalks and have a picture down a long street I may not see a crosswalk in the foreground but I know there is one there if I could just zoom in.
Yes, I’m the one who complained to the 7th grade history teacher about the improper questions one the test. In fairness though, I also asked to have an answer marked wrong if the teacher missed it.
I wanted to add in that it’s probably going away as V3 determines bot behavior by tracking user motion on the site itself.
To which I say… Good riddance
You almost had me, robot.
I use the audio version of captcha.
bot asks what?
That’s just the kind of question a bot would ask.
Nice try, computer, but us humans aren’t gonna give away our secrets that easily!
Actual answer is that it doesn’t matter. I’ve had success with both. Captchas are less about clicking the right squares and more clicking the right enough squares + a background check of your mouse movements, browser settings, resolution, online browsing data, your digital fingerprints, etc.
Some captchas don’t even show squares no more, just rely on the other info for it.
I do any box that contains whatever object it’s asking for. Even if it’s just a sliver of the object. It usually counts it as correct.
Nice try robot computer overlord.
Humans will never reveal this one secret trick!
I tested this and it didn’t matter whether I clicked a square that had a tiny sliver of the motorcycle (or whatever else) in it or not, it would accept it either way as long as I got all of the main squares.
I haven’t done one of those style captchas in a while though so I don’t know if it’s still that way.
My OCD says I have to cover every pixel. Still not sure if that’s why I get asked to select all the stoplights as well.
OR when it asks for motorcycles but only shows mopeds in the photo!!
I usually click it and it works just fine. I don’t think they care about that level of precision, though, it’s actually looking at other things to determine if you’re a bot.
THAT LITTLE PIECE OF TIRE CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF.
you all know EXACTLY what I mean.
This is the first time something I’ve thought about but never asked has shown up here – thank you!!!
I literally just asked my husband about this earlier today.
Nice try. You can’t learn how to be human on reddit. Keep fucking up the captcha AI scum.
Sometimes it feels like they’re just trying to mess with us. Those things can be such a pain.
I always do and it works out okay for me
I do. Seems to work
yeah you dont need to be 100% accurate in my experience. I include any tiny bit of the thing they are looking for and it goes through.
And mildly infuriating: a moped or a scooter is not a motorcycle.
No, only if it is most of the quadrant.
No, bot, you do not say that is part of the motorcycle.
Nice try chatgpt. You won’t get our secrets from me.
Exactly the question a robot would ask…
I don’t think there is a single person alive who knows the answer to this, because every person has had it work both ways.
Are you asking if a handlebar is a motorcycle? I’d say no
Nice try on cheating, Skynet.
I do. If even the smallest part – eg part of a mirror – extends into another frame that frame gets selected.
Doesn’t really matter. Catches are mostly tracking response time and mouse movements. If you make a decision in nanoseconds and make a pixel-perfect straight line to click it, safe to say that you’re probably a robot.
Fun fact, these kinds of captcha tests are actually a parasitic scam used to train AI, and always have been.
It doesn’t actually matter what images you click. When it comes to judging whether you are AI it cares far more about your mouse movement.
If you put in just the tip, have you really had sex?
Depends what the question for captcha is. If it’s like circle street lights then no.
