OK, so how does this work for things without cameras? They exist, I am using one right now. Does it just fail, does it default to another method?
You just lose access to the internet eventually.
Maybe google's internet. But not the whole thing.
So, training AI to read hands more correctly, or trying to make an AI sign language interpreter.
Fuck that.
🖕
Nope, just gonna browse away.
I guess I know which hand gesture I'll be making
Fun fact: Phone cameras now have enough resolution for AI to get your fingerprints off a photo
What, so we can help fix the hands?
Yup. They didn’t have enough hands, kinky or Carl.
= they are looking to improve AI hands
Please rub the verification can to continue.
No.
Wonder if you will get shadow banned if you flip it off..
Sounds like googles got a model that can mimic human hand gestures really well and want to prevent other companies from being able to scrape the Internet for AI training
This is the biggest "hell no" thing I'll probably see this week.
I'll give em a hand gesture alright.
I can think of only one gesture
Yes dance for me human
The tech giant says the system only analyzes hand-movement points from a short video, does not record audio, and deletes the footage after verification.
It's just a short video guys, there's even no audio! And they pinky promise to delete it.
What a fucking shitshow that is. Like, honestly, I'm fine with regular captchas, even if they are the shitty ones. The newer (?) captchas that force you to do solve 5 bullshit "place this there" captchas are already reason enough for me to just leave the site. But if you force me to record a video of me throwing gang signs at the camera, probably several times again, because the movement was not correctly identified, I'm sure as fuck to never visit anything related to you ever again.
I also love the irony that Google fights ~~people~~ bots, while they are scraping the whole internet and investing into AI automation massively.

When this can be faked in the near future, they'll be asking for ass thermometers and anus gestures.
I now mess around with all captchas. Each time a site asks me to find x or click on y. I purposely click the wrong ones to help feed the algorithm!
YouTube TV has this questionaire that says what brands have you heard of. It offers 4 brands and none of the above. However the Nimrods made it a checkbox instead of radio button. So of course every time I gladly fill out their survey. I say I've heard of all four and also none of the above. Anything to poison the data!

... I have no camera.
This new CAPTCHA's prejudicial and exclusionary.
Not to mention grotesquely invasive.
Some people have no hands. Are those people supposed to wave their stump around? What about people who don't even have stumps?
Also, some people who have arms can't wave them around very easily, or at all
