Re:Why can’t a bot tick the 'I'm not a robot' box? by dylan604 on Wednesday February 13, 2019 @09:43PM (#19159225)
I would assume a submitted photo of a robot would go over just as well as when I was once asked to add a picture to the company's internal website of employees by our HR dept. I never add photos of me to anything, so instead, in good humor, downloaded a random anonymous silhouette type avatar. That didn't work for them, and I was told "I need a picture of you". So, I open up photoshop, found a generic picture frame online, and added the word YOU inside the frame. Shortly after this, my supervisor comes in to pay me a visit. Some people just have no sense of humor.

In much the same situation, I just said NO. A protracted argument unfolded over the next few days until the matter was settled by me skimming a copy of the Conditions Of Service booklet across the desk and saying, "Show me where it says I have to." Immediate manager was not happy, but it soon blew over.

Have someone take a portrait photo of the back of your head.

Or take the photo using a potato. The security at my gym requires a photo id - but you can barely see who's on the picture. It looks to be printed with a dot printer.

I don't a real human looks at the photo. It will be CV process that tries to identify the image with whatever word proof was asked to be present.

Hence the high rate of rejections
