Off topic but I’ve noticed recently that I’m frequently forced to incorrectly answer re-captchas the way a computer would in order to move forward.
Some examples: “click all the tractors” showed I did not complete the task because of a photo of construction equipment; “click all the crosswalks” because I didn’t select the photo of a thick white fence; “click all the traffic lights” because I didn’t select a photo of a parking meter. I just clicked the incorrect photo so I could move on but I can’t help but wonder if there’s any mechanism to catch those incorrect (manual, human) annotations on the training data Google is collecting.
