    I’m curious if it could solve the traffic light and crosswalk ones, I would try but I’m out of free image uploads from asking it to explain memes to test its cultural knowledge.

        I’m sure eventually someone will make a bot called something like ai-explains-the-joke that does this automatically.

        The majority of people right now are fairly out of touch with the actual capabilities of modern models.

        There’s a combination of the tech learning curve on the human side as well as an amplification of stories about the 0.5% most extreme failure conditions by a press core desperate to feature how shitty the technology they are terrified of taking their jobs is.

        There’s some wild stuff most people just haven’t seen.

          I can just as well say that the screenshot above is the top 0.5% pushed by people trying to sell the tech. I don’t really have an opinion either way tbh, I’m just being cynical. But my own experience with those tools hasn’t been impressive.

          I mean it still parsed the specific text in the meme and formulated a coherent explanation of this specific meme, not just the meme format

                  Man the models can’t store verbatim its training data, the amount of data is turned into a model that is hundreds or thousands of times smaller than the original source data. If it was capable of simply recovering everything that it was trained on this would be some magical compression algorithm and that by itself would be extremely impressive.

      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.

    Captchas te not meant to deter all bots. It’s meant to make it ever so slightly expensive that a mass DDOS attack would be extremely expensive to perform. Think like thousand sof requests per second, all being Captcha’d and how much it costs to run AI. It’s current not a feasible solution.

    There is cheaper AI that can solve Captchas though, and it’s only gonna get cheaper.

      It’s long been cheap enough that you can pay a call center full of people in a developing country to solve them for you. Going to be a while before AI is cheaper than that.

      Having used them to protect a few web sites from spammers filling up forms, they do cut down on the bullshit. This makes things more convenient for the people reading the information coming in from those forms, but I sometimes wonder if it’s worth the cost of everyone else having to pick out the bicycles in the picture.

      Also, captchas are meant to gather data to train on. That’s why we used to have pictures of writing, but that’s basically solved now. It’s why we now have a lot of self driving vehicle focused ones now, like identifying busses, bikes, traffic lights/signs, and that sort of thing.

      Captchas get humans to label data so the ML algorithms can train on it, eventually being able to identify the tests themselves.

    Yeah captchas are done. Soon they will be easier to figure out for AI than for humans.

    This is why Sam Altman is doing his worldcoin thingy with the iris scanners. His idea: One iris (well, two…) is one real human. I’m sure this will be abused though and I absolutely vehemently don’t trust him with my biometrics so no way I will join that.

    I think what we should do is just get used to the fact that the internet now consists of humans and AIs. Learn to take things with a grain of salt.

    I have an extension which solves most Captchas for me It does it better than me which is why I use it
