    See that’s something I’ve always been frustrated with.

    No doubt they have my demographics, biographics, biometrics, and personal preferences stored in their cloud, then make me select a whole bunch of staircases to prove I’m not a robot.

      to prove I’m not a robot.

      Well I mean a) that’s usually a third-party site asking Google to do that on their behalf, but more importantly b) you, uh, ever wonder if your ability to show you can recognize staircases might not be the main reason why Google’s challenge is menial image recognition tasks representing untold billions of hours of unpaid labor?

      This is whats annoying. A while back, Google supposedly was improving Captchas from the silly letter typing. It was supposed to use your digital fingerprint or whatever I think. Part of the promise was “never see another captcha”.

      But now they ade way more prevailent and fail more often.
