And to conclude, here's
a captcha I would gladly do!

  1. I used to love when the airlines asked if I was a terrorist carrying explosives.

  2. The firts and the last had me roaring!!!!! I haven't got one of those in some time, but sometimes, when even clicking the right squares, I once got like 9 different "click on any squares with a ....." crazy!!!!!

  3. They used to ask people to swear whether they were planning to overthrow the government by force or stealth.. You actually signed this as part of citizenship application. I used to wonder if I was supposed to check which. Now of course, it's part of campaigning for Congress.

  4. Sorry Hall, I can't do that. There was a good news item of the weekend about writing by AI, apparently A has published the first books written that way.

  5. These don't irk me as much as spam emails. I spend a lot of time deleting. I used to rarely get spam but once it started its become uncontrollable - even the email preference "rules" don't work. I wish there was a way to respond that would destroy their computers...but then they would just retaliate I'm sure.

  6. OMG the muffins!!!
    And we are going to do training to learn to detect papers written by AI. Yep. It's gonna get ugly.

    XOXO

  9. Plot twist: some of the dogs are named Muffins.

  10. These were so good. At least we don't have to verify that we are humans here. Well, right now at least.

  11. I HATE, LOATHE AND DESPISE those *$#!*%@ captchas! Motorcycles seem to be anything from Vespas to scooters.... now if they were all muffins and chihuahas, they would at least be fun to do!

  12. Correction to my comment: it was "force or violence". But it still seemed to be a choose a or b situation.

  13. George Santos says he was once a robot.

  14. I would have to skip the muffin one and ask for a new one. Way too hard. AI and robots are starting to get a little scary. They are definitely making my job more difficult.

  15. You made your point. 100% agreeing with the message here.

  16. Haha, Bob! Seriously! Sometimes I actually enjoy those captcha tests. Just a weirdo, I guess, or too much time on my hands.

  17. I always thought signing a statement that we would not blow up the country was a reverse check on reading the statement.

  18. You're a robot if you can't solve a captcha.

    Science-fiction writers used to warn about robots replacing humans, but that's not quite what they had in mind.

  19. I recall spam being a can meat.
    Coffee is on and stay safe

  20. Whoa. That dog-muffin photo montage is trippy.

    I now receive weird-o messages on WhatsApp. 'Hi, friend...!' gets a swift block.

  21. The muffins and the chihuahuas are fun and a little tricky.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh no not the Nicaean Question again! I am here to tell you that i know people who just gave up on Captchas. They seem to be living normal lives.

  23. Jan 6 terrorists got off easy

    some of them legally deserved what they were planning for Mike Pence

  24. The first one - so true. I got tested a few times with having to look for fire hydrants from tiny blurry images - so I kept refreshing the images - who could pass those?

    Have a lovely day

    ReplyDelete
  25. Actually, I think I've seen some of those CAPTCHA's before - like for real.

    ReplyDelete
  26. These are great, but I'm always asking myself if I really am a robot and I just think I'm not.

    Love,
    Janie

  27. Hey, one of those muffins looks like a cookie. Also, how do I know that one of those puppies isn't a Muffin? This is too hard! Or, perhaps, I am a robot... 🤖🤯

    ReplyDelete
  28. And with deep learning, a machine can think like a human...

    ReplyDelete
  29. I hate captchas, but that last one is precious, Debra!

    ReplyDelete
  30. What I don't understand is how I get it wrong when told to click on images containing cars.

    ReplyDelete
  31. What if some of those puppies were named Muffin? (My husband's first dog was named Muffin)

    ReplyDelete
  32. The puppy muffin captcha is the best. Not sure I could pass.
    Some of the captchas are so vague, I can't make them out. Old eyes, I guess. My personal favourite is the captcha of snow covered evergreens and you have to pick out all the squares with Finnish snipers

  33. Muffin made my day (and made me hungry)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm late to read this, but this is hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What if the dogs were all named Muffin?
