answering captchas as badly as possible while still not being determined to be a robot is actually pretty fun

Such pranks might sound like 'fun', but also put people's lives at risk, when modern 'smart' vehicles can't properly identify stop signs, school buses, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians...

I don't like this modern AI era much, but I think it's really shitty to deliberately give AI misinformation.

I can't solve Cloudflare captcha most of the time, so I renewed my accessibility cookie at least once every 3–4 weeks, but they started to last a shorter amount of time. So now I just close the tab and move on.

I refuse to mark scooters as motorcycles.

I didn't ask to solve captchas, if someone wants to have accurate data, they better hire someone to train AI.

Wow that's a horribly shitty argument.

Do you really trust 'smart' vehicles that get confused when they see emergency vehicles, or just flashing lights in general?

Remember, they're using us as AI training mules, and every time someone gives it false information, it confuses the AI, which just makes modern vehicles more unpredictable.

How about you remember we all pretty much know that?

This is just the same old strategy of continously refocusing a conversation about the huge amounts of waste the modern global economy creates on a moral failure of individuals to recycle.

Like waves arms at the unfurling chaos dragon in the sky what does that matter at this late stage of entanglement, go give someone you love a genuine compliment, that is actually resisting in the way you think you are describing but you are not.

The only thing going to waste is, well, everything, plus people's brains. There's children starting school that don't know how to climb stairs now. I'm sure they know how to stare at an iPad though.

As far as the 'smart' vehicles, even if you don't drive one yourself, the moron on autopilot next to you is sleeping, fucking, or on their phone, trusting a chunk of silicon that they don't even understand to keep them, and you, safe..

I didn't agree to train their AI though you know. If the data is unreliable, then get your own data. Why would I tell it to recognize a stop sign.

If they open source the model and the weights and allow me turn on my seat warmers on my own car without a subscription, then maybe... Just maybe some day I would help them. Till then, gtfo.

thank you for your service

Did you know the name Cloudflare comes from the ancient french word Cloufleir which was slang for a fart? (a cloud caught fire must be a cloud of methane being the joke).

It's like saying that if employees are paid and treated like shit, they should still work hard because the opposite would be immoral.

That's bullshit, if AIs are crap because they train on unwilling people, it's the company's fault, not the people who are coerced into working for free.

Don't know how to climb stairs? What the hell are you talking about?

I think you might not understand the purpose of accessibility ramps.

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. If you’re training your AI with free labor, expect to get trolls.

I never said any such thing. Matter of fact, I quit fixing phones and tablets back in 2017, partly because the employer had me installing used batteries, while he lied to his customers, telling them they were new batteries.

I have better ethics than that. I'd rather be homeless than mislead people, especially for a lousy $10 an hour.

So yeah, you're right, it's the company's fault. Question is, are there any honest companies anymore?

I genuinely think that's a noble sentiment and I share that concern. However, this would entail making a deal with the Devil at this point, and pretty much literally.

Most if not all relevant AI models nowadays are owned by outwardly unscrupulous people, which means any correct interaction we have with their models only serves to build up the Devil's throne.

It is a downright tragedy that people will suffer as a result of said models, but that fault is not on us. Besides the fact that they're essentially stealing labour and data in order to train their models, they're also using them to dish out propaganda, to replace workers, to cause yet another financial bubble which'll flush the toilet when it inevitably pops - again.

We need to let them fail, otherwise we are just encouraging others to use us in the same exact ways.

I once heard (likely last month on lemmy) that the tests involve the timing of clicks and a certain amount of wrongness. Too fast and perfect means machine.

So go wild.

I roll my eyes every time somebody brags about sticking it to big Corp by messing up captchas.

Your data is discarded if its below an expected level. You're causing exactly 0 inconvenience and wasting your own time unfortunately. There are much better ways to hurt google
