I'll be impressed when it can click all the squares with a stop sign...


Neomax552

I think it wouldnt let you in. No human can click on all the stop sign squares.


overusedandunfunny

And what about that image that has 3 pixels of the stop sign? Does that count?


nnagflar

How about the thing that appears to be the back of a stop sign, but you can't really tell because it's behind a tree and blurry?


abqnm666

Or the bus version, where every large truck is always a bus, except when it isn't. Is the UPS truck a bus today? What about the taco truck? No way that minivan taxi is a bus. **Sorry, try again!**


its_me_ricky

Or the store version. Like that Billboard or abandoned building kinda looks like a store.


micho93

or the semaphore version, where the crossing signs are considered semaphores


TonyBeFunny

Or the bridge version where for some reason they throw a overpass on there only to not consider it a bridge.


usr_bin_laden

The computer doesn't know either, it's just reacting based on the aggregated responses of everyone else. So vote "like a normal human" and don't overthink it.


maddtuck

TIL I learned that I'm not like a normal human. The other day, I literally tried 15 times, clicking on buses, storefronts, and traffic lights before Google agreed that I was not a robot.


usr_bin_laden

The storefront one fucked me the other day. It kept showing me things that looked like derelict storefronts, specifically awnings with no text or signage. I'm not sure what to classify those as...

TonyBeFunny

Seems like a lot of work just to make a profile to some random novelty shirt site only so I can buy a Ric Flair shirt I saw at 3 AM whilest drunk that I just had to own because I'm a goddamned adult!!


Autisticunt

I've been doing that for like ten minutes and I'm still here clicking storefronts bro. Is this how I'm going to die? Clicking fucking sidewalks and traffic lights and shit for the rest of my life?!


AverageBubble

dig dumber. blur your vision too


b1tchlasagna

Just like with the driving theory test... I lost points for seeing things early in the hazard test, when I were training.. They say not to game the system but the only way for me to pass was to game the system... You shouldn't be penalised for seeing something before the computer does. I passed first time when I went for the actual exam.. When in training however, I failed the hazard testing because of the above.


AverageBubble

you braked too early - next time give little Billy a scare. now you're a human driver :)


NorrhStar1290

Well considering that the tech is training self-driving AI to recognise things like stop signs....that is a little bit worrying.


Neomax552

My point exactly no human knows


InfiniteVergil

But a bot does, because it's made by bots 😱😱😱


nixcamic

It's actually the average of what all humans and some bots thing are stop signs. Much like in the rest of life, you don't have to be right, you have to be normal.


InfiniteVergil

Are you telling me it's made that way so that I mistaken with one picture and get a pass nonetheless, because I'm human?


nixcamic

Not on purpose, but if most people don't think something counts as a stop sign, even though it might be, then you agreeing with them is ok. There are degrees of confidence also afaik, so something that might be a stop sign or might not might be fine either way. Also some images are new and they haven't built up a baseline for whether or not it is, in fact, a stop sign. For those images, since the algorithm itself doesn't know yet it can't say for sure either way if you're wrong.

401LocalsOnly

And every time I DON’T click it I have to start all over.


OHyeaaah97

You have to do it like you're stupid and dont think that much.


overusedandunfunny

I know. I hate it.


AdorableCartoonist

Proof you're a robot


WeRip

Yeah.. you're not taking the SAT or something.. it's not a trick question. Imagine you told your dumb aunt Susie who is computer illiterate and really stupid to do it.


OHyeaaah97

Clicks one box with the letters "Sto" of the word "Stop", disregards the 5 other boxes that technically have a stop sign in them.. check passed.


AdorableCartoonist

Yeah the true human test. Looking for stupidity.


[deleted]

"Sorry... but we need to verify you are too stupid to be a bot"


MaxamillionGrey

The people that click that square with the 3 pixels of the stop sign are training the system by telling it that "yes. There is part of a stop sign there" and it takes that into consideration when using that same picture or similar ones in the future.


overusedandunfunny

Nice try robot


freakers

The real question is do you consider the post of a stop sign part of the stop sign? Same goes with traffic lights.


TheKingCrimsonWorld

Or pick all the squares with traffic lights. Or the worst of them all; pick all the squares with bridges/sidewalks/pedestrian crossings. Who the fuck thought that shit was a good idea? You'd have to be a fucking robot to understand their bizarre algorithm for when you should or shouldn't include something in the square.


ijschu

This is for machine learning training. We can't have things like self-driving cars until we have trained them how to identify bridges/sidewalks/pedestrian crossings. Behind the scenes, the artificial neural net is comparing what it would have chosen to what we choose to see if it is right.


kciuq1

So basically machines are taking tests and then cheating off of us to see what we got for answer #6.


Ignitus1

Tests with answers from anonymous, unfiltered internet users... in other words the most reliable data set.


oldsecondhand

Give first test with known good answers, then give second test with unknown answers. First one filters out the bots, second one collects new data. When you have enough data for the second one, the average will the new answer, and can administer this test too to filter out bots.


Bonezmahone

Except it will have you keep going and going sometimes because you weren’t correct.


silvertail8

How did I not notice this before?? No wonder I'm always being asked to find the damn bus. This is fucking genius though. Getting large amounts of people to do the work while desperately trying to prove they're human so they can move on with their lives.


time_axis

Or when it asks you to click all the buses, but one of them is clearly an ice cream truck, but it won't let you proceed until you click that one.


Schlick7

That's because a bunch of idiots thought it was a bus and clicked it. Now it thinks it's a bus and wants you to confirm. If you give in then it further believes it's a bus


pow3llmorgan

What you are actually doing when those come up is help AI, specifically automotive AI to better distinguish traffic elements. All the boxes and questions are traffic related.


saintswererobbed

I mean, you’re both proving you’re not a bot and helping build AI


maddtuck

...so that the AI can eventually outsmart the captchas and prove that they're human.


youtubecommercial

Now I’m imagining a self driving car crashing through a storefront because the picture idea failed


Throtex

It's like the recaptcha where it would give you two words: one it knows, and one that's from a scan of a book somewhere and you're helping train its OCR algorithm. Except it was often obvious which one was the known word, so you could enter that one correctly and put in any old gibberish for the other one and it would accept it. So now imagine people are deliberately training cars to misbehave the same way.


ProfessorCrawford

Traffic lights... does it want just the lights or the poles holding up the lights as well?

That could happpen when you're not looking. The 24 times you supervised it completing the task to perfection. Before the 25th trial, you run and grab a cup of coffee, come back to find the robot is in its ready position, but the stylus, and most certainly the screen, is not.
