I've always done any square that includes any part of the thing, so the tire on the bus or the helmet of the motorcycle rider. That no longer works for me though, recently I keep getting more images and they seemingly never stop so I just give up on whatever I was trying to load. Its pretty ridiculous how shit the internet has become.

By now I'm up to filling one of these things. If they show me a second one, I'm out. Not wasting my time training some AI

I think they don't train AI with captchas anymore. That used to be the case 10 years ago when we put in all the house numbers for google maps. but as far as I know they learned to do it cheaper without the captcha service. as of now (and for some time already) the results are just wasted.

Half of them are literally traffic identification and i am skeptical of those 3d orientation ones also.

For some time I've occasionally used the ones for the visually impaired because they were easier to get right. But they also messed those up. I get a load of fire hydrants, cars, stairs and bicycles and motorcycles and traffic lights. Sometimes the pictures just repeat. I don't think the stock of images is that big. But they could look at other things instead of just correctness. Like your mouse movement and how long it takes you. Not sure if they do that.

so the tire on the bus

Ok, part of the bus.

the helmet of the motorcycle rider

The helmet is not part of a motorcycle. I will fail that captcha every time if it requires it.

You're training AI on road safety, the head of the rider is the most important part of the motorcycle i would argue

[–] FutileRecipe@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

the head of the rider is the most important part

Shh, the AI is listening.

Without their heads, they're powerless.

[–] pajam@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Except I used to assume the same thing, but I failed every time I didn't include the rider. Once I started including all the squares with the rider(s) as well, I started passing a lot more.

They're training for a car.

The passenger and their equipment are part of the hazard.
