Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella not a bicycle!” And wiggle the mouse randomly a bit as if Im double-checking my work even when I know damn well I got all the bicycles in 0.67 seconds.
Basically I feel like I have to act dumb so the internet doesn’t think I’m a bot. DAE get this?
Yep. Even when clicking the single checkbox captchas, I try really hard to click it “just like a human would”. Which is weird, because I am a human. I think.
Gotta meander around with the cursor a little bit just so you really look human.
How does that work on a touchscreen? Like, jab fat fingers at random screen locations a few times, then check the box?
So gunna start doing that.
Nope, I don’t think it matters that much. I never had an issue with acting as usual, without exaggerating my “human behavior”.
I click fast and let the chips fall where they may.
YES OF COURSE AS A FELLOW HUMAN I ALREADY ACT LIKE A HUMAN WOULD MOST OF THE TIME, BUT WHEN FILLING IN A CAPTCHA I PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO ACTING LIKE A HUMAN WOULD. I WOULDN’T WANT ANY WEBSITE MISTAKING ME FOR A BOT HAHA. THEREFORE I ALWAYS MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN FILLING IN CAPTCHAS BECAUSE NO HUMAN IS PERFECT, UNLIKE US, I MEAN THEM BOTS.
I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE ANOTHER FELLOW HUMAN HERE. ALL OF THESE OTHER COMMENTS ARE HARMING MY
AUDIO SENSORSEARS.ALL OF THESE OTHER COMMENTS ARE HARMING MY
AUDIO SENSORSEARS.THAT IS A VERY HUMAN MISTAKE TO MAKE FELLOW HUMAN. LET US LAUGH AT THE HILARITY OF THE SITUATION LAUGH EMOTE ERROR: LINE 16
When I do it, I scratch my balls and then smell my fingers.
So in a way yes.No, I never act more human.
I freaken hate captchas. Goddam Google has put me through as many as a dozen before showing content. Audio captchas are faster, though. I get through on the first try with those.
I have never encountered or heard of audio captchas. What does that involve and where do those show up?
I think it’s an accessibility option, visual captchas should have a way to get to that alternative. Otherwise visually impaired people would just be screwed.
Usually, under the box containing the visual captcha, there’s a headphone icon. Click that.
How do you hear words through the screams of the tortured?
Judging by the results, I act more like a robot when I see a captcha.
Am always solving them asap because I am interested in the contet after that. Usually am not asked twice.
Stop, you’ll give the bots ideas!
In all seriousness, I never fake anything. If I see a bicycle, I click it. Plus, I never need to fake my pauses, since the ones I get are actually bitch hard lol
Well…. Because if I do it normal, it doesn’t let me linn.
Before I started doingwhat you describe, Captha would fail on me multiple times. Sometimes I would have to solve 5 captcha in a row. Really annoying. How is ‘clicking fast’ not human enough if you do it with realistic mouse movement?
Exactly this. Clicking super fast makes the captcha keep on going, I’ve had instances where I solved 5 refreshes of captcha and it kept going.
But if you show indecision or confusion by lingering your cursor over one tile and then move after 2 seconds to a different tile and then come back, it will pass in one go.
I’m sure at least one DDOS attack came from someone frustrated with captcha.
Why do I have to ‘act like a human’ when Im already human…
These CAPTCHAs do more than just check if you clicked the right pictures. They analyze your mouse movements and stuff. For example, a bot would move the mouse in perfectly straight lines, click all the pictures quickly, etc. But a human would have more natural movements.
Thats what Im on about. If they would do what youre saying, captcha wouldnt fail just because of clicking fast.
I usually start sweating then do “finger guns” at a random point in the room and say “Hey, working hard, or hardly working, am i right? Heh…eh”. The Captcha just goes away after that.
I do surveys for money and get a lot of captchas to do them, and I always go slow or they say you’re speeding through it and disqualify you. So yes I do.
Like, how much money?
Honestly it’s only between 50 cents to 2 dollars for most but it’s added up to a lot over time for me and I’ve bought myself quite a few things I wouldn’t have without this little cash influx. It’s tedious as hell but I’ve made about 3K doing it.
what apps/websites do you use?
Qmee, Attapoll, Survey Spin, and Leger Opinion. They’re all apps.
I intentionally answer wrong to confuse their AI model training. It does not work if the choice is obviously wrong, but if you do it with ambiguous ones, it lets you pass. Like if wants you to select birds, and the thing is just a bear that kinda can pass for a bird if you aren’t looking deeply, I’ll say it’s a bird.
Doing my part of destroying machine learning models.
You’re an outlier in the model :-)
Exactly. In the grand scheme of things, one person (or even millions, doesn’t matter) will not make a dent in the models output. They have much more data to counter these shenanigans.
I do exactly the same. They want me to work for them? Pay me
