“Why did we give the robot sweat glands again?”
Good movie
It absolutely can because at least the current version is a Mechanical Turk. The human operating it would just solve the captcha.
Can the human identify the parts with the bicycle in it for me? I’d have to thoroughly consider whether that might be worth 20k.
There are actually services for that, so companies can retrieve websites automatically when they can’t: https://2captcha.com/ https://anti-captcha.com/
This came up at work a few times, but in the end it was cheaper to ask the site owner for a data export 🤷
AI right now is actually not bad at solving captchas now
The new VLMs are much better at solving captchas than I am. Especially the older ones with the squiggly text, no way I’m doing those first try.
What are VLMs?
Visual Language Models, like LLMs but they read images and text.
