Well, this is interesting..

I need a link too!

look at the bright side, no one will ask us to hack Facebook account when AI is available

Here u go https://arstechnica.com/science/...

This is the original research text http://science.sciencemag.org/conte...

To be fair, I haven’t even read but I am sure I will understand shit.

Eh, it's cool and all but actually breaking captchas hasn't been about doing it programmatically for years now. That's why Google came up with the single check box idea; it's infinitely more sophisticated than just getting someone to get the challenge right.

That said... Text based captchas do need to die, so any more nails in that coffin can only be a good thing.

CAPTCHA or NoCaptcha? CAPTCHA has been rekt for years.

@Dacexi CAPTCHA.. except this is a new method using computer vision...

@hereiskkb looking in to it... I don't think it's actually that new at all; this exact company said they'd gotten similarly high success rates with an AI based solution about 3-4 years ago.

@Zaphod65 can you elaborate on the single check box? I've seen it but never understood how it's a deterrent.

Next thing you know 2 factor authentication for human verification becomes a thing. "Enter the captcha and add your number so that we can call you and talk to you for 5 minutes to verify that you are human"

@crooks5001 The checkbox is actually not that important (later versions come completely invisible).

The users behavior is recorded while on the page and some algorithm (probably some kind of ML tool) determines a probability for the user being a bit from that behavior.

@cyberlord64 Actually, I'm afraid that in a few decades the only working captcha will rely on your passport (with electronical id system) which requires you physically going somewhere to get it.

@crooks5001, @theCalcaholic is right, there's a while load of metrics the page tracks, including interactions with it, delays between them, and a bunch of others. It feeds those in to a huge machine learning back end, and throws out a decision at the end of it, saying whether they think you're human or not.

Sometimes you'll get presented with an old-school image captcha, but the actual answer isn't the important bit; they use that to gather more page interaction data. You can get the challenge wrong and be flagged as human, or get it right and still be denied.

@irene probably!

@irene Yeah, me too. :/

Post the fuckin link

@shekhar12345 its in the comment thread

@hereiskkb cool thanks man
