To defeat the machines we must think like a machine:

@Lensflare

It says to pick the photos with a parking meter.

I did...it says I didn't...

Presumably it thinks one of the mailboxes is a parking meter.

🖕🏻 Fuck you, Google.

@polv @wiki parking meter

@electrineer A parking meter is a device used to collect money in exchange for the right to park a vehicle in a particular place for a limited amount of time. Parking meters can be used by municipalities as a tool for enforcing their integrated on-street parking policy, usually related to their traffic and mobility management policies, but are also used for revenue.

... and while we all think this is for protection against bots it's actually used for improving Googles image recognition algorithms.

True story. And you just found a flaw in it.

@devdiddydog

Maybe but I still had to pick a mailbox to proceed.

Robot learning that it can just make something a parking meter....

I purposefully add one (or two if I can get away with it) extras just to pollute their dataset. I don't it doesn't do anything in the grand scheme but at least it doesn't help.

Fuck google.

@junon Yeah I've found if you're 'kinda right' but wrong ... it doesn't hurt.

Amusingly being accurate seems to be more likely to get situations like mine.

We don't have parking meters in India (I haven't seen one), But I know how it looks like.

I like the LinkedIn Captcha where you have to Rotate Animals to correct orientation, It's fun and serves the Purpose.
