    Because it never was about security. You’re training LLMs for free.

    I’m pretty sure some auto drive company is getting the advantage since a lot of captchas are spotting crosswalks, traffic lights, stairs, busses, mountains, motorcycles etc. Wonder if it’s fucking tesla

      I’d recon that a lot of that is spliced from pictures captured from Google Map vehicles.

        Both you and @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com are correct. Google bought reCAPTCHA in 2012.

        Here’s an article about it from 2018.

        (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

        Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it

        And another from 2019! Captchas got harder for us because the AI had learned from our training.

        Why CAPTCHAs have gotten so difficult
