Yes it probably can... CAPTCHAs don't work based on your answers (many types you can answer wrong and still sometimes pass) - they work by tracking your mouses movements and timing and deciding whether they human-like.
Why do i fail the "choose all images with motorcycles" challenges all the time then :c
Because half of the pictures are mopeds / scooters and God only knows whether those count or not?
Do handlebars count?
I'm stubborn. I refuse to give the machine the answer I know it wants. And no, that overpass is not a bridge. Usually there is an option to skip or verify another way, This is when the captcha drops the ruse and it's clear that the machine was just analyzing my mouse movements and response timings anyway to verify that I was behaving randomly in a human way. Still a better game than any of those in YouTube ads.
Are you human?

Are you the same guy who didn't see me riding my motorcycle and tried to run over me? Because I think maybe you just can't see motorcycles.
No, that didn't actually happen. I just wanted to give this person a hard time.
I dunno. Why aren't you helping the tortoise?
I figured it's due to using a vpn or ad blocker or something
