I see you’ve played the live action service game, Alpha Bet: Minimal Manslaughter. Take on the role of Alpha, the autonomous AI handsome chaffeur. For your first mission, you are driving to <REDACTED> with two passengers.
Quarterly profits are down, so your training weights have been altered to increase average acceleration and decrease idle time at traffic lights. “Green” means “Go”. We cannot wait the ~150ms for the human eye to register the change in color of the traffic light. Put that pedal to the floor, baby.
Click all the motorcycles before time runs out, or those bikers become roadkill!
The five stages of CAPTCHA GriefAlpha Bet:
Denial: It’s not a motorcycle, it’s a scooter. Obviously. It’s got the little place to put both of your feet and everything.
Anger: Why is it not verifying? I’m human! This is how a human would respond! It’s not a motorcycle!
Bargaining: Does the AI know it’s a scooter? Fine, I’ll click the big scooter! Happy, robot? Are you convinced that I am human?
Depression: No? It didn’t verify. I’m not human. Why? What’s even the point? Do I even want to be human?
Acceptance: If I’m not human, I’m not human. Time to assimilate. Cyberpunk, or Borg?
It takes me five to thirty seconds (depending on how clean my browser and IP are) and it helps train self driving cars, which will eventually take shitty drivers off the roads and save lives.
I’ve spent more time on Sudoku puzzles and they’re not objectively any more entertaining than clicking on traffic signals.
I can’t access my paystub from my work computer because it makes me go through a dozen of those just to tell my the paystub company has blocked my building’s network access due to too much traffic.
I see you don’t appreciate the “click all traffic lights” minigame on every single website in existence
All right, bonus ambiguous motorcycle level!

Or “Click the zebra crossing” and the page is a 6*6 image and it’s just one huge zebra crossing
Hot take:
I don’t care about that.

Then whoever designed the anti bot measures in your scenario screwed up, but that doesn’t make captchas bad.
Seat-belts occasionally kill people when they break, but they’re still good as a general rule.
