Great news! Humans are now slower and perform worse at solving Captchas than machine-learning bots!

1. Table 3: Humans vs. bot solving time (seconds) and accuracy (percentage) for different CAPTCHA types. Humans took longer to solve than robots (as long as 30 seconds for some tests, vs only 15 seconds at worst for robots) and were less accurate — humans range from 50 to 85% whereas bots range from 85% at worst to between 96-100% at best.

  An Empirical Study & Evaluation of Modern CAPTCHAs
  
  For nearly two decades, CAPTCHAs have been widely used as a means of protection against bots. Throughout the years, as their use grew, techniques to defeat or bypass CAPTCHAs have continued to improve. Meanwhile, CAPTCHAs have also evolved in terms of sophistication and diversity, becoming increasingly difficult to solve for both bots (machines) and humans. Given this long-standing and still-ongoing arms race, it is critical to investigate how long it takes legitimate users to solve modern CAPTCHAs, and how they are perceived by those users. In this work, we explore CAPTCHAs in the wild by evaluating users' solving performance and perceptions of unmodified currently-deployed CAPTCHAs. We obtain this data through manual inspection of popular websites and user studies in which 1,400 participants collectively solved 14,000 CAPTCHAs. Results show significant differences between the most popular types of CAPTCHAs: surprisingly, solving time and user perception are not always correlated. We performed a comparative study to investigate the effect of experimental context -- specifically the difference between solving CAPTCHAs directly versus solving them as part of a more natural task, such as account creation. Whilst there were several potential confounding factors, our results show that experimental context could have an impact on this task, and must be taken into account in future CAPTCHA studies. Finally, we investigate CAPTCHA-induced user task abandonment by analyzing participants who start and do not complete the task.

  1. Injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, to prove that you are not a robot. (Fake reCAPTCHA)

  @jeff @yassie_j So driverless cars aren't robots?

  @yassie_j Need a class action suit to assign 90% of the proceeds to captcha entry laborers. 😈

  @yassie_j Given what particular free labor they used as 90% of their training corpora this is not surprising at all..
