Edit: sometimes there two pictures that are the same but the colour of the wall change. And you have to compare that to a black and white top down where you can’t see walls lmao
I’m not even disabled, but as soon as I see these I close the website.
I haven’t got time to faff around solving some stupid puzzles just to log in to my account.
Please drink a verification can…
They’re probably training their AI-powered level generation
It reminds me of the difficulty of making things bear-proof without excluding some humans
They want you to solve 20 of them? What is at the end of this game?
Repeat, I can’t do it, it always fails, and then do another 20 lmao
A little puppet on a tricycle rolls out & asks if you’d like to play a game.
Took me a second to get the reference, but god damn if that’s not spot on with how I feel towards these ridiculous captchas hahaha
An expired token and you get to play the game again. Sony was using this for their SEN logons and walked back the change after maybe a day (if that). The alternative was hilarious; pick out 10 different sounds only to get an error at the end.
It’s the only time I’ve ever called a support line and asked for an immediate escalation to a manager. Customers locked out of their accounts is very bad for business.
I fucked around with dozens of these trying to get my steam linked email changed, only to find out it’s virtually impossible. Then I sent an email to the support line explaining why I’m never buying another Rockstar game.
Damn was it strongly worded??
CAPTHAs are beyond broken.
Butlerian Jihad now!
What year does Recaptcha change its name to Omnius again?
Look man, we can save a lot of time if we send down shielded drones and shoot lasers at them once they’re in position
Blizzard has been pulling this too. I bought Diablo IV and got this bullshit:
I’d refresh it hoping the “out of 15” was a fluke, but no… Sometimes it was 17 or 18.
I got that on twitter recently
Doesn’t look like anything to me.
That’s a charge back.
i like the games, but their support service and “account protection” bs is abysmal. They’re like characters in their own game.

Interesting read. Big drawbacks with Private Access Tokens?

That sucks.
Thanks for the info
Cloudflare actually had to disable them because someone managed to automate them with AI too.

which is hard to do with suped-up autocomplete like ChatGPT at the moment.
You got a source for that, or is that just a gut feeling?
Yeah I was getting that shit too it’s actually broken, audio ones too
There are no captha’s for me on mobile through Firefox on android
Thank you. Managed to get through with Safari
i have to perform extra bullshit tasks because the price of their products doesn’t include actual support for my account
These things are ableist. We are reaching the point where AI can solve these much more reliably than a human. As a result the difficulty has to rise and will exclude more and more people which might have problems with “basic” tasks from a neurotypical perspective. Not to speak sometimes there might be multiple solutions depending on language and cultural interpretations.
Oh yeah, it’s ableist as fuck. The worst offender I’ve run into was a CAPTCHA I had to solve to make a neuropsychologist appointment, of all things. Sure, they only required the use of basic skills to solve, but those were the very skills I was seeking treatment for.
Gave up in tears, never got that appointment.
I feel your pain. I have rare disorders which affect my executive functioning, so simple tasks are insurmountable at times for me while my intellectual ability is unaffected and likely above average. Which leads to two things: I rarely get help making appointments and what to do and just “do it yourself” without guidance and get kicked out. And the other one is that I could not be possibly correct interpreting the test results, because how could I have the ability without being an official researcher to research things. I am deeply frustrated, the more tests I run and see my thesis is correct, the more push back by doctors it is more likely to have randomly a dozen conditions instead of a single one uniting them.
