Just filled out a UK Mail/DHL form and had to do that bloody Captcha thing loads of times - page after page - and repeated because the form didn’t work properly.
Surely there’s an easier way to confirm I’m not a robot! Loads of sites seem to use Captcha. Worse is how Americanised it is: “crosswalks”? WTF and buses that don’t look like buses etc
Curious thing about captcha - it's being used to train AIs to recognise things.
Originally, you will recall, it asked you to spell a word visible in a photo - a road sign or house number or something - and that was being used to train optical character recognition systems. The profit from that was used to fund an online language teaching program.
