#2This is going to be one of the best parts of the new AI-ridden world: humans gradually getting locked out of and giving up on online services because the bots are more patient and more skilled at proving their humanness than humans are.
Twitter’s new captchas are also pretty insane, though not quite this bad last I ran into them.

#3ESPN still is the worst at accessibility though, HBO needs to try harder

#4I suspect that OpenAI is not releasing their image reading capability shown in the demo because it will break all captchas

#5Microsoft's captchas are pretty horrendous too. I gave up on them and did the audio captchas also, just like in the video.

Good, I can't wait for the CAPTCHA to go away. They're accessibility nightmares _by design_.

ESPN is horrible. I build auth systems for a living, and I have given up logging into ESPN on numerous occasions because I can't get through all the steps.
As recently as a few weeks ago I was watching a game downstairs, and it went into multiple overtimes so it was getting late. I decided to go upstairs to bed and tried to watch it on the AppleTV in the bedroom. I was logged out. So I spent over 10 mins trying to log in before eventually giving up and watching it on the iPad, since I happened to still be logged in on that device.
It is for the best, because even after you manage to log in, trying to navigate the menu with the AppleTV remote is an exercise in frustration anyway.

#8This had me cracking up. I can hardly believe it's real! Unbelievable.

#9I experienced the HBO Max captchas just a few days ago. Everyone did since they launched a new app and made everyone switch to that and re-login.
Some of the solutions are clearly just wrong. I have a PhD in Computer Science and if I am failing multiple basic addition problems, I assure you that it isn't me, the answers are wrong.
I had to do the same audio puzzles and got the first audio puzzle wrong too, and I even had my partner helping me. It is clearly just a bad test bank. Which begs the question, if the answers are wrong and there are only 3 choices, then what's the point? Regardless of whether you are human or not you are going to guess it eventually in about 5 tries, which is what it gives you before locking you out.

My login rolled over to the new app without doing anything.
