Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella not a bicycle!” And wiggle the mouse randomly a bit as if Im double-checking my work even when I know damn well I got all the bicycles in 0.67 seconds.

Basically I feel like I have to act dumb so the internet doesn’t think I’m a bot. DAE get this?

    I intentionally answer wrong to confuse their AI model training. It does not work if the choice is obviously wrong, but if you do it with ambiguous ones, it lets you pass. Like if wants you to select birds, and the thing is just a bear that kinda can pass for a bird if you aren’t looking deeply, I’ll say it’s a bird.

    Doing my part of destroying machine learning models.

        Exactly. In the grand scheme of things, one person (or even millions, doesn’t matter) will not make a dent in the models output. They have much more data to counter these shenanigans.
