At least identifying shit is easy, I have seen some wild captchas. Roblox for a while had some really crazy ones where its like “Identify the shape that most closest matches the answer to this math problem”, and the shapes are all highly stylized numbers on a field that is basically a colorblind test.
Oh fuck, the stone piles -thing is the worst of those. Tiny images, badly generated so you can’t see shit, multiple rounds that have six or so images each round, you can’t make a single mistake, and you get to know did you make any mistakes only after completing all of the rounds. It’s straight up abuse
Once I had to try over five times and still kept failing, so I just gave up. I guess I’m not a human anymore
I actually like seeing those, when I have time, because I assume they are training ai with it and using my selections as tagging data.
Pick all the cars: nope, everything but cars.
I’m probably the reason you fail, because I’m poisoning the data and reducing the confidence scores for the tags.
I remember when doing those captcha felt like improving computer science and that was a positive thing, teaching computers to see. How quickly we’ve fallen.
You’re probably getting flagged. You have to be just slightly off. Miss one or two by a square or two. And remember that image so you repeat it every time.
It took me years to learn that you’re supposed to do them very slowly. Otherwise it will keep bothering you to fill out more. Pretend you are 80 years old and you’re good to go on your first try.
You forgot step 2.5: incorrectly identifying stoplights 6 times in a row.

I do that shit too, fuck the AI training. The Terminators will stopnat every set of stairs thinking its a stop light

It’s a whole mini game sometimes. I hate them with every fiber of my being.
