It reads like it's written by a person having a stroke in real time. Really weird formatting, punctuation, structure all over the place. Asinine claims.
I hate the messenger despite loosely agreeing with the message, I guess.
I think Google stopped using such data long time ago. They have been showing hydrants, buses, crosswalks for ages. It's a solved problem to detect them.
Pretty sure it's a small set of images of each type as well. It's probably easier for a dumb heuristics-based bot to beat it than it is for most people.
Got second hand anxiety the other day seeing someone logging into their fb account (I guess with a chrome private window?) and they had to solve like 3 round of reCAPTCHAs to finally be able to... get into a fb login page over again, do another 3 or so reCAPTCHAs and finally get into their fb. I don't think they were doing them wrong
Coincidentally today, I have formed a weird theory about reCaptcha. I created a fake facebook account recently. And every time I try to login, I'm getting verify you are human screen that is Google's recaptcha. And I was solving recaptcha for 8-9 times on some occasions. I think the number of times I have to submit in one session went up after couple of days of Facebook usage. My theory is that, Facebook tags many accounts to be fake internally and instead of banning, they use these accounts for data farming including collecting data through Google's recaptcha (but incentive is not aligned as it would help it's competitor unless there is some payback model). This is anecdotal and 99% I'm wrong. But if I'm on the other side with the incentive to use data, it is definitely one I would try to capitalize on.
I don't know about hCaptcha, I tried it out when testing stuff for a websites checkout flow (had card testing spam issues), and they are about the most difficult to solve captchas I've ever done.
I guess there's a low friction mode only available on the $139/mo plan.
> they are about the most difficult to solve captchas I've ever done
Sounds like something a robot would say. Joking aside, I'd rather do a captcha that involves slightly more cognitive effort, rather than get trapped in a reCaptcha loop because I didn't select every last segment of a bicycle.

Maybe over a decade ago. As it stands now, it's just a surveillance apparatus.

True, I've been using Turnstile for now and it's nice because it generally doesn't even need the interactive challenge.

hCaptcha? You clearly haven't seen the arkose lab captchas.
I haven't, sounds rough if they're even harder!
You could probably make a decent bot resistant captcha by just asking the user to type a slur
