Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little girl that lives in a furry world
And all day and all night and everything she sees
Is just furry like her inside and outside

Fun fact, if recaptcha experiences any error it just feeds you more captchas forever.
You’re better off refreshing after you complete one and aren’t authenticated.
Another fun fact: most captchas, including recaptcha, are used to train AI. Some of the puzzle it will know the solution to (which is what it uses to verify that you’re not a bot), and the rest it won’t know the solution to and uses it to train AI. If you train your eye a bit you can eventually make pretty good guesses as to which part is which, and then go on to give the AI training part of the captcha wrong answers. There’s something satisfying to knowingly giving the captcha a wrong answer and get the green check mark anyway, pointing a middle finger at the people who thought they could get free AI training from you.
It used to be used to train text recognition software. It was super easy to tell which word was known vs unknown. The known word just looked like normal text that was edited to be kinda “wobbly” while the unknown text looked like an actual image or scan of a page. I’d always put “ass” for the unknown word.
The current iteration of captcha isn’t as straightforward in terms of identifying which is which.
