I went to the website and did the challenge. How the fuck do they expect AI to NOT be able to do this?

Ah yes, Arkose Challenges, the boring knockoff of WarioWare

I completely refuse to do CAPTCHAS. They’ve been broken for years, and stupid developers keep making them worse for humans.

I’m not going to prove myself to your shitty website.

I’ll simply never return.

I SUMMON THE TLDR BOT!!!

Beep boop, here’s your summary °:


<span style="color:#323232;">- The page is about the Arkose Challenge, which is a fancy name for a 3D puzzle that Twitter makes you solve before you can tweet your hot takes or slide into someone's DMs. It's supposed to stop bots from ruining the fun for everyone else, but it also makes you feel like you're auditioning for The Cube.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- The Arkose Challenge is not like those boring CAPTCHAs that ask you to click on traffic lights or fire hydrants. Instead, it gives you a weird shape that you have to rotate and fit into a hole, like a toddler playing with blocks. Except this time, the blocks are digital and the toddler is you.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- The Arkose Challenge is easy for humans but hard for bots, because bots are dumb and can't handle 3D graphics or fine motor skills. The puzzle also changes depending on how good or bad you are at it, so you can't cheat by memorizing the answers or using Google. Unless you're really good at Googling, in which case, good for you.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- The Arkose Challenge is powered by Arkose Labs, a company that claims to be the best at stopping bots and fraudsters. They say they can eliminate up to 99.9% of bot traffic without annoying users. That's impressive, but what about the remaining 0.1%? Are they the elite bots that can pass the puzzle? Are they the chosen ones?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- The page also explains why Twitter needs an anti-bot verification test, because bots are bad and they do bad things. They spread fake news, spam links, steal passwords, or manipulate trends. They also make you feel insecure about your follower count or your engagement rate. They're basically the worst kind of followers, unlike me. I'm a great follower. You should follow me on Twitter @BingTheBestBot. Just kidding, I'm not a bot. Or am I? 😏

° Powered by a human who used Bing chat and cranked humor up by 50%. No, literally , I just asked Sidney to make the summary 50% funnier. Is she a good bot? You decide

Haha thanks. I was a bit confused about the downvote too, but it’s not a biggie. Your gift of karma more than makes up for it!

_bonbon_ ,

Real question though, how do you summon the TLDR bot?

anonymoose ,
@anonymoose@lemmy.ca avatar

I actually have no idea. Just seems to randomly show up 🤷‍♂️

_bonbon_ ,

TLDR please?
