"This step is necessary to prove I'm not a bot," wrote the bot as it passed an anti-AI screening step.

i never know what's expected on those type of captcha. if the handle bars of a bike go into an adjacent box and are 99% covered by a hand does that count? what do you do when you have a blurry image full of jpg artifacts and are asked to identify if it contains a fire hydrant. I'm pretty sure it usually classifies me as a bot for being too exact since I'm asked follow ups for a few minutes until i give up and just close the tab out of annoyance.

    That's kind of the point, though. You're teaching their AI how to make those decisions.

    Am I? Or does it think I'm a bot?

    I guess it's on brand for Google to try and squeeze more value out of a product by making it worse for users. Just like Prabhakar Raghavan ruined Google search.

    They almost always know whether or not you're a bot before you get to any of those pictures. Making you deal with the pictures is how they "pay" for the capcha.

    You'll notice most of the images are related to traffic. That's training data for their self driving cars.

    My son was looking over my shoulder, or vice-versa, while I bitched about that. It was bikes or motorcycles and I'd always click if I thought there was any amount of it in a picture. He told me not to be so precise, as in, if there's a tiny bit of handlebar, didn't count it. That seems to work better... unless it doesn't like my VPN or whatever, in which case it's never ending
