At SerpApi.com, we built a bot to check these boxes and an AI to solve the actual CAPTCHA. Checking the box is actually not that hard. There is no advanced measurements of your mouse and touch speed. This is an Internet myth. It's more a game of cookies, making them age well, and having an organic set of headers.

Better safe than sorry, there are enough people who think context doesn't matter.
So what's going to happen if you write "nigger" that you're so unwilling to write it? It's not like you'd be calling someone a nigger, you'd be using it in a clearly informative manner,

#594The items one is supposed to select often overlap the grids, so it becomes a kind of Keynesian Beauty Contest[1] at that point; I assume they validate based on how much in alignment you are with previous answers, so it becomes a problem of “What nearby grids would a person reasonably select when there’s overlap”, or, you’re tasked at selecting and you see in the distant background of the image you’re supposed to classify and you need to determine “How visible would need to be for a reasonable person to classify as being in this image”.
On top of this, when you’re clicking through image after image after image, the additional frustrating thing is that you’re helping train their algorithms; you’re doing work because their service isn’t smart enough to know you’re human, or, you’re seen as a marginal customer they can piss off by forcing you to work for them for free.
It’s a frustrating experience when it fails, and my current strategy is to leave the website when the ‘I’m not a robot’ checkbox fails.

#598After reading this thread yesterday, I had a nightmare in which I called 911 but was required to answer an endless stream of personal verification questions, never able to report the problem.

It's easily the worst UX I encounter online. I can't describe the relief I feel when I come across a "normal" CAPTCHA. It's coming to the point that if I could pay a few cents to outsource every reCAPTCHA, I gladly would simply to avoid this atrocity.

Are reCAPTCHA images used to train or classify data like Mechanical Turk? I thought at one point the word ones were used that way and was a major incentive for their usage.
