Fridge fridge hamburger truck truck… ??? What’s the blue thing? I thought hamburger would be the answer, but it isn’t? I just get the same captcha with the hamburger in a different place. WTAF is happening? And what’s the blue thing? I answer and it refreshes with the same icons in different places. I AM HUMAN!

    They are using these as unpaid human labor to train the generator model. It’s a cheap way to annoy users and hop on the dick of the latest ShitAii trend, so any manager with even a whiff of capitalism in their blood is jumping on it.

      Pretty much this. Google’s captchas some years ago were all about pointing out road related things, like semaphores, other cars, buses, etc, because self driving AI was just around the corner.

      hCaptcha, the one in this image, is literally using us to train/refine art prompts. I’ve had a number that asked me to choose the pictures that showed a “whatever”, with the 9 images for clicking being obviously AI genned. Sometimes, it accepts 2 rights and 1 wrong.
