      To fuck with the training data. But don’t worry, most of the time it accepts it anyways.

          Because fuck them, that’s why. Nobody, not a single person, is out there trying to make AI that will make the lives of average humans more livable. 100% of it is for corporate profit. Oh yeah, they’re gonna replace your job. And then where do you think your income will come from? It won’t. Come from anywhere. You’ll just be out of a job, no longer able to afford rent or food, but don’t worry because for a brief moment, they really maximized shareholder value. In the short term at least. And that’s all that matters anymore right?

          I don’t want to: not only work directly toward that goal, but also do it for free. There isn’t much you or I could do to stop this shit short of revolting, but if enough people were to fuck with Captchas, it would absolutely have an impact on the rate at which this tech is ruining our lives.

      I mean if you think about it, you’re doing unpaid labor to prove you’re a human.

      Because assuming you are human is not so much about the correctest of selections as much as it’s about moving the cursor around the screen in imprecise, non robotic, humanly ways.
