Sy HoekstraBeing #blind is fun. Just encountered a visual captcha with no audio option. So I used JAWS Picture Smart to get AI to read me the text of the visual clue, which I typed in and got through. So basically I'm a human who needs a robot to prove to another robot that I am not a robot. Without my robot, the other robot would have thought I was a robot. Also I was trying to make a payment on my PAP machine, which really should in itself indicate that I am not a robot. #Disability #Disabled
Large Heydon Collider@SyHoekstra To add another layer of absurdity: The CAPTCHA robot primarily exists to train robots on how to judge imagery like a human being.
MJ Ray@heydon @SyHoekstra and another layer of absurdity: I'm a sighted human (for now) so don't have JAWS or similar set up, but atypical colour perception means I fail many visual tests mislabelled as "captcha". So a decent robot trained on those images is more likely to pass than this human! The world has lost the plot...
@mjr @SyHoekstra Indeed.
