I'm confused. Logging into Qantas I got the e-capture thing (whatever it's called) as part of a security test. Hilton used to have all kinds of drama with theirs and now it seems QF is similar.

Mark all the boxes with a traffic light, it commanded me. So I did. They had a massive traffic light with the lights and pole covering a number of boxes, so I diligently checked all the boxes. I was wrong. They gave me another one, so I again checked all the boxes. I was wrong. I gathered they must not require the pole, just the lights ... however the next one had cars to be checked. I did that. I was wrong!! OK so I had checked the boxes with a car or any portion of car in them, so I decided they must want only whole cars ... however next go had swapped to buses. Luckily, this time no buses had drifted outside their own box and finally I was allowed to proceed.

So what is a traffic light? I always thought that those newspaper stories of people crashing their cars into a "traffic light" actually hit the pole, rather than the light. Have I been wrong with these assumptions?

I hate e-capture. :(
 
All those Google captchas that get you to identify street signs, traffic lights etc is helping AI learning for autonomous cars
 
I copped one once where it asked me to tick the squares containing shopfronts. Only none of the squares had shopfronts in them. They had plants and roads.
Hopefully that autonomous car knows the difference.

I've had the shopfront quiz as well for Hilton. It's the worst.

Sort of right, whilst we still need to help computers with identifying things, the issue is that you need to trust who is doing the identification will do it accurately, and at thus stage we're now doing things like helping them identify what counts as an unbroken yellow line rather than stating "this image is of a road".

The ironic thing is these days computers are actually really good at identifying objects inside static images, that it would be faster and more accurate than a person.
 
I always seem to get it wrong.Sometimes parts of houses count then because I am wrong I could get cars and parts of cars don't count.The people who thought up Captcha really don't live in the real world.
Funnily though if you get it wrong 4 times they let you continue anyway.
 
Shopfronts, street signs, cars, roads, trees, people. Had them all. Total waste of time.

Hilton went through a bad patch not long ago,but haven’t been held up too badly elsewhere for a little while now.

So here I am, thinking I got the buses right, when in reality it may have been the program thinking I must be real as no computer could be so dumb!
