  • Noice,
    However, isn't the secondary point of CAPTCHA to use it as training material for a Neural Network.
    The whole text based CAPTCHA thing got infuriating as they made the characters harder and harder to decipher, then boom, that CAPTCHA style completely disappeared and we are asked to point out road signs and cars out of a grid of 9-25 squares( Clearly training material for driverless).
    I'm not going to shit my pants until CAPTCHA changes to 'Point out places on this map which you don't mind testing nuclear weapons on' OR, as with the daily mail article a page back, 'follow the moving bad man target with your mouse cursor and avoid the good target for 15 seconds'

    Kind of replacing the Turing Test?

  • Well, I think it's primarily a data-gathering exercise, where you have a picture and a human decision/answer (i.e. whether or not the object in question is in the picture). And then that data can be used for supervised learning (to train the forthcoming generation of robot overlords).
