You forgot step 2.5: incorrectly identifying stoplights 6 times in a row.

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.

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

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.
