I think it's impressive that an algorithm can crack the CAPTCHAs. I get them wrong most of the time.

We get to a point where programs actually sometimes guess it right more often than the user. I do get recaptcha wrong about 50% of the time and I guess I'm not the only one.

It's sad that I'm not exaggerating. I get the captcha on YT everyday because apparently my subnet attacks YT a lot.

Now, It's not Google's fault, but the whole captcha thing is getting more and more broken.

I don't usually get it wrong.. but that is because I usually request new images if I'm not pretty sure I have it right. Sometimes the distortion is absolutely ridiculous.
