Are you a human or a computer?

giaguara · December 10, 2002 3:36PM

This test can be used to determine whether the tested is a computer or a person (like those 'copy the letters you see on right' in yahoo and similar subscriptions). So, a human is supposed to pass the test, a computer not. You just have to tell what you see on the pictures.

<a href="http://www.captcha.net/cgi-bin/pix"; target="_blank">the test is here</a>

i did not pass. i saw turtles and i should have seen shelss or seashells. so, i am apparently a computer.

Any more losers here?

I lost the first one...most were seashells, but there was one pic of a dog sticking his head out a window (?)...but the next three I passed...it's not that hard......

This has got to be the dumbest "test" I've taken online. I got this set of pictures:

And I entered "sunflowers" because that is what is in each picture. What does it tell me" [quote]Result of the Test: FAIL

You entered the following word:

sunflowers

The possible words were:

snake snakes<hr></blockquote>WHAT?? Someone please tell me how you are supposed to get "snakes" out of that set of pictures.

Subsequent attempts were just as ridiculous. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

i think there are too many losers online trying to see if they are computers or humans so their system is doing a boo

I am a human who expresses himself through his computer. Therefore I'm a fruit, of the Apple variety.

There are sexual suggestions ALL OVER those photos, Brad. They must be talking about the Bed Snake. Dangerous bastards.

You've got a girl out looking for a snake, her "flower", a girl touching her first snake, an old lady who's obviously seen her share of snakes... with a row of young flowers behind her to prove it... the resulting alcoholism.... and being laid out to pasture in the last photo.

How can you not see that.

ibub · December 10, 2002 4:41PM

haha i failed the two i took. first one - i wrote televisions and it was television. don't think that counts!

the second was pig or pigs, i wrote hogs. must be the midwest megafarms influencing me.

These tests failed, twice.

The first one seemed to be images of the countryside so I wrote ?country?, the answers were ?cow cows?.

Undaunted, I tried another, and there seemed to be small girls in most pictures with the rest looking quite ?gilrish? too, so I wrote ?girls?, the answer was ?witches?.

But these weren't witches, girls dressed as witches, at most.

These test are utter failures.

robo · December 10, 2002 5:41PM

That was really... pointless?

Half the time i'm a person, half the time i'm not. So the test is wrong half the time, and idiotic all the time

I'm the one who failed?

These test suck , i wrote submarines, and the test failed because it was supposed to said only submarine.

This test prove one thing, a computer is not suited to test if we are human or not

trevorm · December 11, 2002 5:05AM

WOW! That test totally sucks!!!

Classic.

How could they not account for plural words?

Bad programmer, no donut. If I wrote code that bad, I'd be fired.

That was poor. I always feel unclean when I get suckered by someone's shitty PR stunt.

For those that are interested pix (the photo one) is just pulling stock photos from getty based on keyword searches. That's why you get images like this (note image may disappear):

with the keyword train.

Very poor. Why did they feel the need to issue a challenge to the Artifical Intelligence community? and why did every last 'news' source have to pick this up?

I got the pictures of sunflowers, so I put 'Flowers'. It failed me becuase I used a capital F.

The test said I was a fücking asshole.

Are you a human or a computer?
